A Taste of Honey

Annie wants to be done with raising [and careing] for a family. No more dirt, no heart-wrenching worry - no feeling of being overloaded with care. She is determined that the youngest sister, Francie will go to New York [Ugh!] to train to become a teacher. Francie was allowed no option. Now all of a sudden her brother, Bart wants to get married to Willa [who has never lived and worked on a farm in her life] More training to do. Risa, Charlie's wife is pregnant and will be needing Annie for the birthing. She is trying to promote an interest in Annie for Noah Eastman and his daughters. The youngest brother, Ethan works for Noah, he is just waiting for the time he can take off out west [of Ohio]. Her beautiful sister, Della is married to Peter and has twin boys. [little hellions] Annie, at 26, wants to marry the preacher, Miller Winestock, he just lost his wife 7 months ago. Annie helped Elivra Winestock through her illness. Miller and everyone else appreciates Annie for her generosity and most excellent cooking. Noah couln't believe his eyes, he was expecting an old maid but the woman he saw was beautiful and had him stammering. He couldn't put a complete thought together. Wonderfully warm and loving - with a bit of mystery and stubborness and a bit of tragedy. A real down home kind of story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED with wonderful characters and a bit of humor.
