The End

Thank you for reading A Loving Stranger! Are you wondering what to read next? Why not read Amish Days: The Amish Blogger? Here’s a sample for you:

Marian Yoder stood on the thick bedroom carpet of her new friend Amy Owens. She peered over Amy’s shoulder, mesmerized by what she saw on the screen.

“You mean you’re having a conversation through the computer?” she asked, in awe.

“Sure. We do it all the time. It’s the messaging part of Facebook.” Amy pointed to the small box in the corner of the screen. She looked at Marian and grinned. “D’you wanna do it?”

“Could I?” Marian sank onto the chair beside Amy.

“No, don’t sit there. Trade seats with me.” Amy got up from her desk and let Marian sit in front of the computer. “I’m talking with my friend Morgan in Chicago.”

Marian held her fingers over the keyboard. “What do I do?”

“Just type hello or something. Whatever you want.”

Marian slowly tapped out the letters h-e-l-l-o. “Now what?”

“Press enter.”

Marian did as she was told and watched her message slip from one portion of the box to another. “Did I do it?” She stared at the screen. “Wait! Did I make a mistake?”

Amy laughed. “No, you didn’t make a mistake.”

A melodic bling sounded from the computer. “See,” Amy said. “You got a message back.”

Hello. Who am I talking to?

Marian giggled. “Do I write back now?”

“If you want to.”

She wanted to. Never had Marian seen such a marvel. She’d heard about Facebook once when she was standing in line at Parker’s Ice Cream Shoppe in Hollybrook. Two young teen girls in front of her had jabbered excitedly about how they’d seen some famous band member on Facebook. Marian had thought it was a book full of profiles, perhaps of well-known singers and movie people.

She’d been wrong.

Very, very wrong. This was so much better than any book she’d ever seen or read.

“You sure you aren’t gonna get in trouble?” Amy asked, getting up from her chair and flouncing on her bed with its rich, fluffy purple spread.

“Nee. It’s my running around time.”

“Your running around time?”

“Jah. Rumspringa.” Marian forced her gaze from the screen and looked at Amy. She loved the way Amy’s blond hair fell over her shoulders in gentle curls. Her own blond hair was pulled tightly back in a bun and covered with a kapp.

“Yeah, I’ve heard of that. Never knew anyone Amish, though, and to be honest, I don’t really get what it means.”

“It’s a time when we’re given more freedom. You know, before being baptized into the church. That way our decision isn’t only because of family and tradition—it’s personal because we want to obey and follow God. It’s a commitment.”

Marian turned to focus back on the screen. She typed out another short message. “This is wonderful gut! I love it.”

“And you can search for any information in the world! Find out anything. You just type the subject into the search engine, and voila! Tons of info at your fingertips.” Amy smoothed her hand over her bedspread.
