Von der hinteren Coverseite

BEVERLY LEWIS penned her first story at age nine while living near Lancaster County Amish farmland, where she grew up. She welcomes her many reader-friends each day on Facebook and personally replies to fan mail. Lewis lives with her husband in Colorado near their family. Visit her website at www.beverlylewis.com. Birthdays were a gift from God above, my mother used to say, taking care to point out to my younger siblings and me the importance of gratitude in all things. "Gratitude for sickness?" I had once whispered to her when the others left to do barn chores. Mamm had looked at me so sweetly, my heart nearly broke in two.

"Ach, Maggie-bird," she said as she opened her arms, and I limped into her embrace, letting her hold me while I cried.

Whatever its cause, I wanted my pain to stop. I wanted to walk without a cane. I wanted to scrub floors and weed gardens, and I wanted to be the kind of bride any Amishman would have been pleased to marry.

Jah, that was undeniably a difficult time, one that opened my eyes in countless ways. And my heart, most of all. It was a season of sorrow and searching, of questions and answers.

It was the summer of my first love.
