Synopsis: A woman from England, missing an arm because of a birth defect, takes a chance on love to go out west and possibly marry a man with one leg. The only problem is she hasn’t told her future husband about her arm. He rejects her and she decides to help others by making them limb replacements, but her heart is heavy from the loss of a potential husband who she grew to love through their letters.
My arm,
Emma Manchester said, carefully felling her left shoulder. Drawing in a deep breath, she eased her right hand down to her left arm, only Emma had no left arm. She had come out of her mother’s womb beautiful and healthy, but lacking her left arm.
Allowing a cold wet wind to play in her short blond hair staring out at a dark gray river flowing by a damp riverbank with angry currents, Emma sighed. Even though she felt beautiful in the long blue dress she was wearing, she knew many men considered her very ugly because of her missing arm.
Using her right hand, she reached down into the front pocket of her dress and retrieved a letter. Hope,
she said lifting her eyes upward, bypassing the low, gray sky, and looking into God’s promise her life.
Doubting God, she felt, would only allow her to become bitter, cold, and very lonely.
Are you ready, love,
a kind voice asked.
Turning away from the river, Emma spotted her older brother walk up. Admiring his loving face tucked into a thick gray raincoat, she wondered how it was going to feel to be away from a man she had seen grown up with. Every single day of her life, she had witnessed her brother’s face—a face that always supported her and encouraged her to seek God. I wish you were coming with me.
Brian Manchester smiled his usual older brother smile. Love, you know that I have responsibilities here. Running the print shop, as you know, is a difficult task.
Emma folded her arms and gave Brian a look that clearly told him not to appease the grief of goodbye she was feeling with a weak excuse. I have a very long voyage ahead of me. I’m sure you will be very busy running the print shop the entire time. So busy in fact that you will not be able to write me, I suppose.
Brian laughed. As he did, a strong wing kicked up his thick brown hair. Okay, love, you have me on the hot iron.
I’ll miss you,
Emma told Brian cherishing his laughter, but I’ll come home as often as I can. If I fail, I’ll return home all together. Oh Brian, do you think I am acting like a childish school girl, chasing a foolish dream across the world?
Walking to Emma, Brian embraced her with caring arms. "I have always encouraged you to follow your heart. You believe that God is telling you to go to America and marry the man that has been corresponding with you. After three years and a great many deal of letters, this man has asked to be your husband.
Now, you’re off,
Brian said and threw his arms up into the sky like a mighty bird taking to flight, off into an adventure filled with daring love and powerful faith. Are you a fool? No, you simply want to be loved.
Emma smiled nervously into
