Sense And Sensibility by Sarah Price
Henry Detweiler dies unexpectedly, leaving his second wife and three daughters, Eleanor, Mary Ann, and Maggie, in the care of John, his oldest son from a previous marriage. John and his wife, Fanny, inherit the farm and, despite a deathbed promise to take care of their stepmother and half-sisters, John and Fanny make it obvious that Mrs. Detweiler and her daughters are not welcomed at the farm. When Edwin Fischer, Fanny's older brother, takes notice of Eleanor and begins to court her, much to the disapproval of his sister, Fanny makes life even more difficult for the Detweiler women.In their new home, Eleanor wonders if Edwin will come calling while Mary Ann catches the attention of Christian Bechtler, an older bachelor in the church district, and John Willis, a younger man set to inherit a nearby farm. While Eleanor quietly pines for Edwin, Mary Ann does not hide her infatuation with John Willis. When the marriage proposal from John Willis does not materialize, Mary Ann is left grief-stricken and humiliated as the Amish community begins to gossip about their relationship. In the meantime, a broken-hearted Eleanor learns that Edwin is engaged to another woman.
Will admitting her affections for him result in the marriage proposal Eleanor has always desired?
The Preiss family arrived in Pennsylvania as part of the first wave of Mennonite immigrants in the area in 1705. Through investigation and research into her family's history and faith, Sarah Price has always revered and cherished her forebears. She befriended an Amish family when she was nineteen and lived on their farm for many years. She currently divides her time between her husband and children in the NYC metro area and a home she shares with an Amish woman in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she retreats to ponder and write, twenty-five years later. Sarah Price takes pride in providing her readers with an real Amish experience as a skilled storyteller. Several of her stories are inspired by real people she's encountered and her own years spent living among the Amish.
