Waiting for Jake

Susan Miller loves Jake Studer. She always has. When he leaves on his Rumspringa and doesn't return, she continues to love him and believe in him. When he finally does come home, she's giddy with joy. Now they can court properly. But Jake has no plans to stay in Baker's Corner. And during the few weeks he's back, he arranges a secret buggy race.Catastrophe follows, and Susan knows she must give up on him. He'll never come back to Baker's Corner for good; he'll never be part of the people again; he'll never join church. But knowing it's time to give up on him is one thing. Doing it is another. Susan continues to wait for Jake, praying that somehow God will reach his rebellious heart.
