About this listen
Mark and Anna were old hands at parenting.
From early on, Mary held tightly onto her Amish doll, which at first seemed very cute until it became apparent that later, when learning to speak, that Mary would talk to the doll and rarely, if ever, let it go, even at night.
Anna would have to sneak it away from her clutches at night when asleep to get it washed. As May grew, she learnt to make dolls herself and would sell them in their community and the local town to make much needed money for the family. One day, she prayed for an upset child in the town she saw crying when her father took her to the grocery store. She prayed so hard to her doll that when the child stopped crying and reached out her hands for the doll, Mary gave the doll without thinking, which brought a smile to the child's face.
What happened next would change their lives forever. With this change would come trials and challenges. Will the outcome be the good of all, or the downfall of everyone connected with the situation.
