Characters
Abigail is a newly married farmer's wife who is hardworking and understands the demands of farm life, having grown up with a rancher father and six brothers. Despite her understanding, she feels lonely and isolated in her new, solitary life. She is used to a lively, noisy home and misses her family, friends, and social events like Saturday night dances. Abigail craves connection and communication from her new husband and is finding marriage to be less fulfilling than she had imagined.
Intro
Abigail had been busy all day. She'd weeded nearly half of the garden, picked two buckets of wild strawberries, and finished knitting a baby blanket for their neighbor Mrs. Gable and her newborn little girl.
Now she toiled away in the kitchen, elbows up in strawberry jam. She knew it was getting late, yet her new husband had still not come inside. In the last few months of marriage, Abigail had quickly learned that the farm came before everything else.
Of course, Abigail understood this. After all, she had also grown up with half a dozen brothers and a rancher as a father. She knew how important and hard it was to take care of the animals and the crops.
Abigail only wished her husband made more of an effort to at least talk to her. Abigail wasn't used to spending all day alone and with no one to talk to. She missed her brothers and her father. She missed the noisy, messy house she grew up in.
Marriage hadn't turned out to be as fun as she thought it would be. In any way.
As Abigail was pouring the hot jam into her prepared jars, she heard her husband at the back door.
