In that horrifying instant, desperate for her sisters safe return, she whispers a promise to Gott: she will give up her dreams and marry Micah Graber, a man she doesnt love, but who is determined to make her his wife. Benjamin Miller hasnt been back in southern Maryland for long before he meets Phoebe and begins to imagine what a fine life they could build togetherbeginning with an alpaca farm of their own. But he can see that Phoebes brash vow is all she will consider, no matter what her heart wants.
