- Summary
- "Miriam and Calvin Gingerich have been trying for a baby for several years, but the Lord hasn't seen fit to bless them. Though Calvin claims he's content with their childless state, he starts spending more time off their farm, making Miriam worry he's met someone else. Just as she finds herself at her lowest point, though, Miriam discovers the ultimate surprise and turns to bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Miller . . . and any books she may have on pregnancy and childbirth. Calvin has been keeping a secret from his wife, but it's not another woman. It's a little boy. One afternoon when visiting Sarah Anne's bookmobile, he meets Miles, a ten-year-old living with a foster family that has no plans to adopt him. Calvin feels a connection with Miles and yearns to give him a home, but he's afraid to tell Miriam, knowing she's devastated they can't have children of their own. As weeks pass and Sarah Anne learns that Miles has nearly given up hope of ever finding a real home, it becomes clear that she must intervene. It will take some fancy footwork and a whole lot of prayer, but she knows she can help turn this struggling couple into a happy family of three -- or more."--
