The Six at Chestnut Hill Farm

In 2008, hairstylist Amanda Weathers was a happy widow. As a Christ-follower, she attended Church-on-the-Hill, participated in youth activities, and helped in the church's music ministry.

Luke Avery, the music minister, was a widower with a child. His declaration of love and unexpected proposal turned Amanda's life upside down. Realizing she loved Luke, she accepted his proposal and found herself immediately in a multitude of his personal problems. This culminated in a situation where she momentarily lost faith and trust in him.

For the first time, after my engagement to my music minister, Luke Avery, I doubted. As uncertainty reared its ugly head, I wondered at the folly of selling my lovely house, taking in four strange children under my wing, and marrying a man who seemed to drag a heap of baggage and family problems behind him. What if this relationship fell apart like Humpty Dumpty? What if it couldn't be mended?



This whirled around in Amanda Weather's mind.
