This was an interesting story, what would you do if you are unmarried, pregnant and Amish, and your family rejects you? This is what Mary faced - she was going to sleep on a bench if no one from her community would help her. Then she saw a sign that said “Beware The Honeybees”, and she hoped that Bitsy Klein, a former Englischer, would help her out.
Bitsy did take her in, and Mary tried to make friends, but it is hard for people to look past Marys’ pregnancy and past life.
She had no idea of the plans if two Amish boys, Benji and Alfie Petersheim, who had just been relegated to the cellar because their parents had given their room to the elderly grandparents.
The boys wanted their room back, so they thought they needed to marry off one of their older brothers - Andrew was their first choice.
Benji and Alfie decide that Mary would be a good person for Andrew to marry.
You will have to read the book for yourself to see how much effort and trouble these two young matchmakers get into and if Andrew chooses Mary or tradition!
