Miriam And the Stranger
“Miriam bent her head against the wind and hitched Star to the buggy. Another school week was at a close and every bone in her body ached. Even the children had noticed her crushed spirit this past month. Miriam was sure of it, hard as she tried to act her usual cheerful self.
“What is to become of me?” Miriam asked Star.
He turned to stare at her and blinked his eyes. Miriam patted Star’s neck before she climbed into the buggy and drove out of the schoolhouse lane. She had hoped the turning of ...a new calendar page this month would make a difference. She had even sent a prayer heavenward while she stood staring at the twenty-eight numbered days on the calendar. But the days until March still seemed far away and heavy.
At home in her dresser, more of Mose’s letters lay still and empty. They were filled with his plans and all about the happenings on his farm. He was doing well, and his preaching as the community’s new bishop pleased the people. Miriam knew she should be with him.MoreLess
