Born a Indigenous American, but raised Amish, Hester Zug, at time 20, flees her Amish home. Her father's too-tender health care of her has made her stepmother wildly jealous, therefore Hester sets off, knowing only that she can't stay. Hester's natural instincts for navigating the forests in colonial Pennsylvania, along with the book of medicines and remedies given to her by an aged Native American girl, allow her to survive until she gets ill from drinking alcohol river water. Twice rescued - first by matronly Indian women who find her unconscious in the woods and then by the youngster in downtown Lancaster, where she'd been kept for dead by the dreaded Paxton guys - Hester locates herself in the kind, if abrasive, hands of Emma Ferree. Due to her wide center, Ferree, a widow, offers her home to fugitives. The dazzlingly beautiful Hester eventually marries an Amish man who's more in love with just how she looks than with her center and mind. And when that childless marriage falters, she actually is met one day in the fields by Running Carry, a Native North american brave who has watched her for years. He asks her to marry him, supplying her until wintertime to choose. Belonging partly to two worlds but experiencing simple yet clear rejections from both, Hester involves wish that her Amish mom, Kate, had never rescued her. Creator Linda Byler shows the lovely and long lasting Hester looking after others as the Amish do, by using Indigenous American remedies and tinctures from the old woman's booklet. Her practices increase accusations of witchcraft from the very people she pieces out to help. Byler, an active member of the Amish, centers this second booklet in the Hester's Search for Home series on two anguishing questions: Where is Hester's center most at home? And will she ever be married gladly?
