    About this ebook

    Naomi's impression of Jacob was not all that pleasant. He came across as rude, selfish, and downright cold. The entire village realized that he was a bit of a troublemaker. When Naomi's father requires some extra help around the farm, he reaches out for Jacob's help at his father's recommendation, much to Naomi's dismay. 

    She spends her days avoiding him and being infuriated by him. She becomes so angry that she starts to notice when her sister starts to act and think the same way. And just before winter hits, her father needs even more help around the farm, Naomi steps up to help. 

    One of the family horses is rowdy and unruly, and Naomi has difficulty controlling her. Narrowly avoiding an accident, she discovers something unexpected about Jacob, something that could change the way she sees him for the rest of her life. 

    A standalone short story, with no cliff-hangers.

      Jacob’s Tale

      Chapter 1

      The first time that I had seen Jacob Wittmer since we were in school together was after Church on a beautiful Sunday in October. There were hardly any clouds up above, and the sky was a brilliant shade of blue that is only ever seen in the hottest parts of July. I had just stepped out into the sunshine with my best friend Rebecca when he stepped outside just behind us.

      I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and just as I reached up to grasp it, I saw him walk past me.

      Ow! I exclaimed, and rubbed my arm. He had walked up to me and bumped right up against me.

      But he didn’t stop, he didn’t turn around, and most of all, he didn’t apologize.

      Well, that was awfully rude! Rebecca said after him, but again, there was no reply. My heavens, Naomi, are you alright?

      There were quite a few others that had come out after us as well, and now it appeared that we weren’t the only ones aware of what happened.

      My dear, are you alright? an older woman asked me, clutching her bonnet strings beneath her chin.

      Boy, you should apologize! my friend Abigail’s father said.

      This is just outrageous, another woman commented.

      And then, I felt about the size of a pea, because not only were they fussing over how he treated me, but now they were focused on me as well.

      The second time I saw him was at Sunday evening singing a few weeks later. Rebecca and I were sitting together near the back, the last few rays of sunlight filtering in through the window behind us. The singing had not even begun yet, but no one missed the moment that he walked into the room.

      Everyone was surprised that he even showed up when he did; he obviously hated coming. And being in his early twenties, he didn’t fit in with the rest of us who were just turning sixteen and seventeen. We all thought it was bizarre that he hadn’t been married yet, but with his attitude and the way he treated others, perhaps it wasn’t so strange.

      I myself was eighteen, just a year older than my dear friend Rebecca. My mother had been pestering me to marry for the last two years, but so far, no one in my class had approached me.

      The village where we lived was a small one, and from the few families that lived there, I considered some to be like family, and the idea of marrying their sons was just strange to me.

      My father on more than one occasion has suggested traveling to one of the other Amish communities in the state to find a suitable match for me. The idea had occurred to me as well, but the idea of traveling so far to spend time with a potential spouse just made me tired thinking about it.

      Jacob walked in that night holding his hat and his untidy hair hanging in his face. Without looking up, Bishop James said, "Well, it’s nice
