The Rescued (Keepers of the Promise)

The Rescued (Keepers of the Promise)

As an Amish wife and mother struggles to hold her family together, a story from the past teaches her how to face her daily challenges with strength and love . . .

In modern day central Pennsylvania, Judith Wegler tries to heal the growing rift between her husband, Isaac, and his teenage brother Josephâ€”whom Judith and Isaac have raised as their own ever since both brothers lost their parents and siblings in a horrific fire. Meanwhile, Isaacâ€™s hurtful silence about this tragic past has robbed Judith of any certainty of her husbandâ€™s love.

But when Judithâ€™s grandmother gifts her with an antique study table, she discovers a hidden packet of letters that changes her life . . .

In 1953, widow Mattie Lapp fights against the countyâ€™s attempts to force Amish children to attend a consolidated public school, even if it means arrest and imprisonment. Mattie knows she canâ€™t face this challenge alone, and turns to her late husbandâ€™s cousin Adam for help, but sheâ€™s terrified at the prospect of relying on someone else.

Now, as the two womenâ€™s stories converge, both must learn to stand up for their beliefs and to love again, even when it means risking their hearts . . .
