The Postcard
David Lapp (from Promised to Another) survived a “code blue”
when he was in a buggy/semi truck accident in Seymour , Missouri .
Now after extensive therapy he has lingering mobility problems and is still
struggling to find his place in the world. Lured away from Webster County
by thoughts of closed buggies and a postcard friendship he’s developed with an
Amish girl in Jamesport, he moves north, hoping for a fresh start. He finds
work in the area tying flies and basket weaving, selling his products in the
Amish markets in the Jamesport area.
Rachel Miller dreams of travel,
but feels tied to her Amish life. She is being courted by Obadiah Graber, but
wonders if there’s more to life. When she sees David’s name mentioned in The Budget, she strikes up a pen pal
friendship with David while he’s in the hospital and in therapy, consoling him
when he and his girlfriend part ways. She never dreams that David will come
north and move into her community. David is still fearful in the buggy,
especially in high traffic areas. Feeling he’s called by God to preach, David
spends hours in the Bible, but the Amish discourage him, believing their
ministers should be drawn by lot. Will David follow his call, even if it takes
him out of the Amish church? Will Rachel realize her dream to travel?
