Emma's Gossamer Dreams - Nurse Hal Among The Amish, #5

Welcome to the Lapp farm near Wickenburg in southern Iowa. Come to visit and bring your sense of humor. Dependable Emma Lapp dreams about the same fate that happens to all teenage Amish girls. Eventually, she will fall in love, marry and have a large family, but she's been offered the teacher's job. That means working away from home and leaving Nurse Hal to take care of the household while Hal's still trying to perfect her cooking skills.
Emma doesn't think Nurse Hal is ready to take on the responsibilities of homemaker and continue her nursing duties at the same time. However, Emma wants to take her place in the grownup world and teaching school will be an exciting challenge. Meanwhile, Emma turned seventeen and is considered a good catch. As Emma puts it, every single man in the community is sizing her up for his wife.
