"Home to Pebble Creek (Free Short Story)" by talented Author Vannetta Chapman is well worth the read. It is obviously a prequel or introduction to the Pebble Creek Amish Series and this author does a great job of hooking her readers with the love story of Joseph and Esther. Joseph decides to leave Pebble Creek and broken hearted Esther is beyond consolation. After eighteen months away and with no correspondence from him whatsoever, Joseph returns. At first blush, Esther is far from receptive and tries everything in her power to deny her love for him. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances when Esther gets stranded on a narrow path in a rainstorm with her horse and buggy, she is forced to admit her feelings for Joseph when he arrives and escorts her safely home.As one would expect in a novella, there is a cliff hanger at the end to further entice the reader into wanting to know more. Miriam, Esther's teaching partner has yet to fall in love. When a widower enters their one room classroom with his young daughter, it is very apparent to Esther that a unique exchange between the two has taken place. There is hope for Miriam afterall, at least in Esther's eyes. Time will tell...Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteGrowing Up & Liking It
