The Wounded Heart

The Wounded Heart is an Amish Romance written by Adina Senft. It is about Amelia  a young woman whose husband was killed in a buggy accident and left her with a business of making pallets and two sons. She has two friends who work with her on making quilts Emma and Carrie. Carrie is married but has no children and Emma has never married.
Amelia is having trouble with her hand going numb and she is dropping stuff. She finally goes to a Dr. and after a MRI is told they think it is M.S. She is told there is no cure but they can give her medication that may help. It is very expensive.She goes to another Dr. for a second opinion and is told the same thing except this Dr. tells her there are some shots offered in Mexico that may really help but that too is expensive. The Elders in their community tell her they will help with the cost if she dors not go to Mexico for treatment. If she does go they may bann her in the community.
A man from a nearby community approaches her about buying her business and he also wants to court her but she does feel it would be right if she has M.S.
Read to see what happens to her and what her choice is.
I really like this story and recommend it to others.
