A new captivating narrative from the popular author Roswitha Gruber offers readers an insight into rural life on a remote farm in Upper Bavaria. For generations, the Edelhofer family has made their home here with their numerous children. In 1920, the eldest daughter Ottilie is born, followed by more children at regular yearly intervals. From an early age, Ottilie, Toni, and their siblings experience what duty and a sense of responsibility towards the farm mean. In particular, Toni must initially hold back when he falls head over heels for "his" Resi in 1948. It takes nine long years filled with waiting, long walks, and declarations of love before they are finally able to say "I do." Roswitha Gruber narrates a daily life marked by hard work, but also by community, love, and trust in God – dramatic, authentic, and empathetic.
