Andrea Little couldn’t hide her dismay. She looked at the woman in disbelief.
“We are partnering with a pastor and his wife in Robinsville, near Grand Rapids, Michigan,” Mrs. Vaser told her. “They or someone they approve of from their congregation will sponsor you, furnishing room and board for as long as needed until you’re settled. You’ll meet eligible men who want to court you, but you aren’t obligated to choose any of them if you don’t want to. You can find a job and live independently if you prefer. However, the reverend and his wife or your host family will make sure you’re in a safe situation, even securing a chaperone if needed.”
Mrs. Vaser frowned. “I expected more enthusiasm. This is quite an excellent opportunity for you.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
What did the woman expect? All Andrea could think about was being kicked from the orphan house, the only home she’d ever known. Now, her wonderful position of teaching the subjects she loved – quilting, sewing, and literature – would be stripped from her. Would she even be able to quilt in Michigan?
She made up her mind right then. She wouldn’t give up her quilting.
