Product Description
by Timothy J. Shaffer (Author)
Freddy and Mary Siverling had four children. After having three boys, Mary prayed for their next child to be a girl. When the fourth boy was born, she was convinced God was punishing her for being selfish and not being a good mother. They were finally blessed with having two girls over the next few years. Mary thanked the Lord, not realizing that one should be careful of what they ask.
As the two girls grew up, the Siverling household changed forever. Mary Elizabeth, the youngest and most precocious, was never afraid to question or to take risks. She soon finds out that taking risks could have major consequences for her and her family.
Based on real people and actual events, Mary's story will lead you through some of the most prosperous and turbulent times our country has experienced and show you how an unassuming Pennsylvania Dutch family from Knoxdale made the most of their blessings and coped with the harsh realities of everyday life.
