Opis

On March 19, 1898, Ellie Bryant and Freeland Boone met in secret at Saucer Pond, a small pool of water beneath a little waterfall, surrounded by pines and oaks, huge ferns and Saucer daffodils. This is where Ellie Bryant escaped to be alone, a difficult feat for any member of a rural farming family with many siblings. They met this one last time because they were forbidden to see one another by their families and seventeen-year old Ellie refused to marry against her father's wishes. They agreed to meet there again in one year's time. Freeland, also seventeen, assured her he would return a millionaire and then no one could object of their marriage . He fully intended to do just that and she fully intended to wait for his return but complications tumbled one upon another and led Ellie into a continuous state of fear for her life. Freeland did not escape trouble either. Within a day of leaving home he was ambushed and left for dead. Based on a true story, the experiences of these two young people and those around them weave an enchanting and uplifting tale of Christian growth, perseverance and hope.
