Beyond Mist Blue Mountains: Dora's Diary 3 paperback, 200 pages, $8.95 
Dora, married and settled into Millstream Orchard Farm in Minnesota, writes in her diary faithfully. A year after they had planned, Dora and her husband Matthew finally go to Belize to work in an orphanage run by Dora's aunt and uncle. There, though she is homesick at times, she recounts their many adventures: a kidnapped child, thieves in the night, escaping down a wild river, watching the breathtaking tropical sunsets, and of course, taking care of all those children. Through all this, Dora and Matthew wish for a child of their own. Even after three years of marriage, there is no baby. So the adventures continue. They buy a farm in a different Amish settlement in Belize, adopt children (Dora wants a dozen!), and revel in the wonderful people and world God has given them. Copyright 2003. | Add... | |

Millstream Orchards Family: Dora's Diary 4 paperback, 157 pages, $8.95 
Dora and Matthew have returned from working in an orphanage in Belize. They now have eight adopted children and are living on Millstream Orchard Farm in Minnesota. In her journal Dora records blessings and struggles of their family life, with stories from the parents' earlier days. Farm adventures sometimes take a toll on health, yet they rejoice in family togetherness and the cycle of seasons. They are busy with home chores, farmwork, helping the neighbors, and times out for jokes, fun, picnics, and relaxation. By caring for each other, they create precious memories.

Rock Garden Ramblings: Dora's Diary 5 paperback, 152 pages, $8.95 
Dora and Matthew add their birth baby to their eight adopted children. There's never a dull moment on the farm. Friends and family help with picking (and throwing!) tomatoes on their ten-acre patch. The youngsters play pranks on the hired man and pick up a hitchhiker who wants to work on a farm. They all work, yes, but also have fun: picnics in meadow and mountain, farm frolics, doughnut-making, sledding, skating, and more. Copyright 2005 A.B. Publishing | Add... | |
