Helen Martin, Sabina Story of Amish, 1st/1st 1905
"Sabina: A Story of the Amish", by Helen Reimensnyder Martin, published by the Century Company, New York. First printing of the First Edition with "1905" on the title page and "Published October 1905" without any other printings on the copyright page.
The story of a young woman's coming of age. When Sabina finds herself attracted to an artist who has come from the East to settle into the Pennsylvania Dutch country, her Amish lover seeks justice. Weaved within the story are striking depictions of Amish marriages, funerals, and prayer meetings.
Today's Amish romantic fiction often portrays a near-pastoral existence for these gentle, spiritual folks. But life - and love - was not necessarily so idyllic, claims Helen Martin, when she was writing about the Amish in 1905.
