    About this ebook

    David came from an abusive home. Now that he is married, he begins replicating the same behavior with his wife. The Amish community elders have warned him but his habit is ingrained in his spirit. Finally realizing that he has been living his entire life in denial, he seeks redemption. But even if he can remain a changed man, can his bride forgive him after all he's done?

      The Chosen Amish - Deidra Scott

      Chapter One

      David Miller took a deep breath of the clean spring morning air and sighed.  Spring...it had always been the promise of fresh starts and new beginnings. 

      Not that there was very much hope of a new beginning for him. 

      Reaching up to adjust his straw hat on his head, David kicked at a clump of dirt in the midst of his freshly plowed corn field.  He started toward the house where his wife, Ida, would surely be up making breakfast.  Soon it would be time to get the horses hitched up and start on their way to church.

      Reaching down, David scooped the little boy up in his arms right before he could trip over a clump of dirt.

      Watch it there, son, David warned him as he slung the child under his arm like a sack of potatoes, No need to get your church clothes all filthy.

      Lucas giggled as he bounced in his father’s arms.

      "Mamm said to tell you it’s almost time to leave! Lucas informed David when he finally reached the yard and had put him back on his feet in the soft grass, She said you’d better get yourself ready or we’d be late again."

      David sucked in a deep breath and slowly shook his head.  Ach, if that woman didn’t nag him about everything.  And lately it seemed that she was trying to use his child to nag him as well! 

      "You tell
