What happens when love is forbidden because of an old family feud?
About the Story
When Jane Miller notices her father's cows broke through the fence again, she dreads facing their cranky neighbor, Old Man Coblentz. He’s always so grumpy and mean-spirited. So, she tries to clandestinely herd the cows back onto her property when she's surprised to meet Reuben Troyer, the new hired hand on the Coblentz farm. Unlike his employer, Reuben is kind, witty, and eager to help her mend the broken fence. What starts out as an accidental meeting has the potential for a new and special friendship.
What neither of them count on how a decades' old feud between the two Amish families might keep them apart. With a little detective work and the help of the bishop and a Mennonite woman, Jane and Reuben try to mend the broken fence.
From the Author
I've always loved the story of Romeo and Juliet. Haven't all of us at one time or another had a crush as a child or broken heart as a teenager? Unrequited love may leave life long pangs of heartache, but, if given the chance, would you go back and time to relive them or give up having experienced them at all? I've often thought about that and I believe that all of those heartaches helped make ME who I am today. I'd never give up those experiences. Each footstep I've taken, whether in the warm sun or sticky mud, has made me who I am today.
