title: Patterns and Progress
author: Stockton, Amber
description: SHANNON WAS RIGHT ABOUT "PROGRESS."
  
  Every time Shannon Delaney might have considered changing her stance on what other people called "progress," something bad happened and she was proven right again. Like the day Jacob Berringer almost ran her over in a new Model-T. Or the Titanic, a marvel of modern invention. Look where that got them. Or how about the new tractor her brother insisted they try out on their farm? That resulted in a broken arm. Why can't things just stay the same -- the way they should be?
  
  Jacob has his work cut out for him, proving to the stubborn but beautiful Shannon that just because he works for the Henry Ford Company, he isn't a bad guy. But something about her tells him she's worth the effort, and when Jacob puts his mind to something, he doesn't turn back. But will either of them look to God for direction?
