paperback, 128 pages, $8.95
Cover
A just-married Amish couple settles on a homestead in Montana and experiences the excitement of beginning a new life together, the loneliness of distance from their family, the thrilling beauty of the nearby majestic mountains, the fear of mysterious night-time prowlers, a hostile taxpayer, and neighbors who eventually apologize-all shared amidst the four seasons experienced by Miriam "Joy". Book 1.

Book 2 in the Joy's Journal Series. In this sequel to Tall Cedars Homestead, Kermit and Joy move to Beechwood Acres in Montana only to discover that someone is living in an old abandoned range shelter on their property. Then there is the visit from Joy's great-grandmother who brought a journal written by her mother when she lived in the Conestoga Valle of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the 1700s. Read about the Indian settlement near Weber's Thal; a man who weighed 400 pounds and built a cart because he was too heavy to ride a horse only to discover that the church leaders felt it was too worldly; and the Settlement of the Solitary (later called Ephrata Cloister) who claimed local Mennonites. Would it claim Feronica, or would she marry Yockel, her Mennonite sweetheart. Tears of joy and sorrow bring you to an unexpected ending!

Book 3 in the Joy's Journal Series. Kermit and Joy move to a small farmette in Pennsylvania near Aunt Miraiam and Uncle Nate. Grandma Gertrude comes to visit and brings another old journal-this time of Feronica's daughter, Julia, as she visits the Conestoga Valley where her mother grew up. Local sites including The Cloister, Eby's Mill, Saeue Schwamm Shettle, Graf's Spring, Horseshoe Trail, and Weber's Thal, are captured in Julia's thoughts and experiences. She is smitten with the charms of Abe Rittenhouse, a Mennonite schoolmaster, but during a fox hunt near the Blue Ball Run, a young George Glauner is thrown from his horse and is injured. He is carried to the Wittman home where Julia is the maud (maid). His twinkling hazel eyes captivate and charm Julia as well.

Book 4 in the Joy's Journal Series. Kermit and Joy experience the joy nad challenges of parenthood while living on a farmette in Pennsylvania. They love living close to Aunt Miriam and Uncle Nate and dear friend Sadie and between them the grasses of Forget-Me-Not Lane are kept constantly trodden down as they run back and forth to visit. The days are kept lively as a family of four motherless children move onto the next farm and the three little "happy campers" from Beechwood Acres days come and stay for a while.

Kermit is kept busy in his woodworking shop, but his heart isn't in it. He longs for the great outdoors on the cattle farm in Montana. But Joy is happy and content where she is with family and good friends and neighbors nearby.

paperback, $8.95
Cover
Book 5 in the Joy's Journal Series. Kermit and Joy move back to Montana where they marvel anew at the awesome majesty of the country, the tall pines etched against the mountains, the never-ending blue sky, and the scenic river winding it way through the valley.

Kermit's work is in the great outdoors, doing what he enjoys most. Joy is busy with many household duties and caring for their children. Then a surprise arrives in the mail from Great-Grandmother Gertrude-another of Julia's old-time journals. In it Julia relates of tough trials, heartaches, and near-despair after she and George and their three children moved to Kentucky. Joy can't help but shed tears for her as she re-copies the old journal.
