The Promise Paul Krebill

Growing up in the early nineteenth century in Germany, Heinrich, and Amanda were joined by the promise they had made to marry each other one day in the future. But they were forced apart when their families emigrated separately to America at different times. After many futile attempts to find each other in the new world in which they now lived, each reluctantly has to settle into a new life separated from their promised one. Until, years later, their lives converge in a most surprising set of circumstances. But is it too late for their promise to be kept? Perhaps. He and his wife of sixty-eight years, Doris, are retired in Bozeman, Montana.
