The Rescued (2015)
“Judith wasn’t sure how he’d managed it, when she’d been alert for an opportunity to get him alone to talk. He was becoming entirely too good at this vanishing act of his.
Still, there was no use beating herself up for not keeping closer track of him. He wasn’t a child any longer, and at fourteen, he’d resent it if he thought she was babying him.
At least Isaac wasn’t home to notice his absence. Isaac had gone over to his uncle’s place after lunch to help with some deer fencing around th...e truck patch, taking the two older boys with him. If she knew Onkel Simon, they’d be working and talking most of the afternoon. Surely Joseph would be back before Isaac was.
Judith moved to the next row of tomato plants in the garden, brushing aside the thick leaves to pick only the ripest ones. They’d been fortunate in the amount of rain they’d had this summer, and it looked to be a bumper crop of tomatoes. They’d been so sweet that even little Noah ate them like a piece of fruit.MoreLess
