Ruth believes the husband is slowly draining the life out of his wife and adult daughters. She tells the husband Christian character is above Amish manmade rules and calls him out as a hypocrite. Lena tones Ruth down and suggests they plant seeds of hope and love with appropriated doses of scripture to help the family. But Ruth was given a warning back home in New York for being too evangelical. She's never been one to do anything in halves and gets a bit preachy towards these neighbors. When they accuse her of being too cozy with Ex-Amish who are now Mennonite, will Ruth and her husband have to leave the Old Order Amish? Join the Mennonites Church? Spring Seeds is the sequel to Winter Wheat but can be read as a standalone novel. Amish recipes are included along with a discussion guide for book clubs.
