This short story is a depiction of Amish life in Berlin, Ohio, in April of 1858.  Jonas Switzer (age 19) struggles to make his intentions known to Caroline Hersberger.I like the barn scene when Jonas is milking the cow.  Allowing the barn cat to have a "taste" is outstanding! Anyone who has ever seen this in a barn will be able to connect immediately.  Of course, the milk does get on the cat's whiskers....I thought the quote "Silver only shines with hard work" depicts the Amish people's way of life.Despite his young age, Jonas has plans to leave Berlin.  Will he be able to persuade Caroline to travel West with him?Highly recommended...
