A true story woven by strands of faith, family, and community. Ervin R. Stutzman tells the story of his mother, Emma, who raised six children after the sudden death of her husband, Tobias. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Emma copes with her entrepreneurial husband’s significant business failures. Ervin R. Stutzman, author of the highly commended Tobias of the Amish, now turns to his mother and rediscovers the strength of a woman whose early married life was defined by stress and tragedy.

Also available in a hardcover edition.

Quotes:

"Ervin R. Stutzman's Emma invites us into the life of an Amish Mennonite community. Through Emma, I understand what Gelassenheit, the ultimate yielding to the will of the Lord, means for the Amish." —Karen M. Johnson-Weiner, The State University of New York Potsdam
