Who treasures Emma? Is it her grandmother, Leona, who is living with her after her parents have died? Is it her sister, Clara, who has a family and a husband, Peter, who is unable to find work? Is it a former boyfriend, Adam, who left his Amish roots to live in the world and has now returned to his home town? Is it a cousin of Peter’s, Mark, who shows up and makes a show of helping and being everyone’s friend?
As Emma moves through the days following the death of her mother, she begins to see that while she has always puts the needs/wants of others first there has come at time when she must begin to treasure herself.
Each of the people in Treasuring Emma eventually finds that they must depend on God and less on themselves in their daily life. When the reader reaches the end of this book, lives have been changed and the character for the next book apparently has been revealed.
