Young Elva loves her summer days - once her daily milking, household, and gardening chores are done. In book two of the Farm Life Series, author Elva Hurst spins a simple tale of a summer spent splashing in the creek on hot afterons and singing hymns with the other youth at the hymn sing. When news of a wedding surfaces, the neighboring Amish and Mennite families all pitch in to make the day special for the young couple. This delightful story is a beautiful picture of a young girl discovering joy in a simple life centered on a loving family, a tightly knit community, and an active faith in God ...and just a little bit of mischief along the way.

Author Biography
Self-taught artist and gifted author Elva Hurst draws inspiration from her warm memories of growing up in a large conservative Mennonite family on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania. Now with a husband, four children, and a small farm of her own, she carves time out of her busy day to follow her passion for the arts and writing--all from her kitchen table.
