Detachment had worked well as a life strategy for horse trainer
Sam Schrock. Until he met Mollie Graber . . .
New to Stoney Ridge, schoolteacher Mollie has come to town for a
fresh start. Aware of how fleeting and fragile life is, she wants
to live it boldly and bravely. When Luke Schrock, new to his role
as deacon, asks the church to take in foster girls from a group
home, she's the first to raise her hand. The power of love, she
believes, can pick up the dropped stitches in a child's heart and
knit them back together.
Mollie envisions sleepovers and pillow fights. What the 11-year-old
twins bring to her home is anything but. Visits from the sheriff at
midnight. Phone calls from the school truancy officer. And then the
most humiliating moment of all: the girls accuse Mollie of drug
addiction.
There's only one thing that breaks through the girls' hard
shell--an interest in horses. Reluctantly and skeptically, Sam
Schrock gets drawn into Mollie's chaotic life. What he didn't
expect was for love to knit together the dropped stitches in his
own heart . . . just in time.
Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to the little Amish church of
Stoney Ridge for a touching story of the power of love.
