To Joe Thompson, who first introduced me to the Kentucky Amish and shared helpful information. To Lida Conkle and Patricia Thompson, who have also told me interesting facts about the area and answered many of my questions. And to our new Amish and Mennonite friends, whom we’ve enjoyed visiting during our trips to Kentucky.
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content

T
itus Fisher liked horses, dogs, and shoofly pie. What he didn’t like was a cat that scratched, and a woman he couldn’t trust. Today he’d dealt with both.
Gritting his teeth, he grabbed his horse’s bridle and led him into the barn, wishing he hadn’t gotten out of bed that morning. The day had started on a sour note when Titus had come to the barn to feed the horses and accidentally stepped on one of Mom’s cats. Five of the irksome critters lived in the barn, and every one of them liked to bite and scratch. Whiskers, the smallest of the five, was the most aggressive. The crazy cat had been so miffed when Titus stepped on her tail that she’d clawed her way right up his leg, hissing and yowling as she went. When Titus had tried to push Whiskers off, she’d let him have it—leaving a nasty scratch on his leg.
