Publisher's Description
When their parents flee the Amish, nineteen-year-old Betsie and her seventeen-year-old sister Sadie are distraught. Under the dubious guidance of a doting aunt, the girls struggle to keep the secret, praying their parents will return before anyone learns the truth a truth that may end all hopes of Betsie's marriage to Charley Yoder.
Worse still, Betsie must learn a trade while she boards with a dysfunctional Englisher family: Sheila, a twelve-year-old desperately searching for a friend and in dire need of her mother; the free-spirited mother, who runs off to find herself on the stage; the angry father whose structured life crumbles; and Michael, a troubled college dropout nearly killed in the Kent State Massacre.
Thrust into the English world, Betsie must grapple with the realities of war and miniskirts, pot parties and police brutality, protests and desertion. Can she help the Sullivan family and find peace in her new surroundings, or must she forget the bargain she made and seek refuge back in Plain City with protective and reliable Charley?

lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5BargainNovember 22, 2014lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This story is about broken families, hearts and lives that are going in different directions as one of the families is English and the other is an Amish family. The time frame is during the Vietnam War where words like PEACE were spoken repeatedly and clashes between law enforcement and people from the English occurred frequently. Betsie Troyer was brought up in an Amish home that now is falling apart as older siblings have married and moved away. The bigger problem in Betsies eyes is her parents leaving the Amish faith, moving to a new town and learning to live by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, discarding anything resembling being identified as people from the Amish community. However, to Betsie and her youngest sister Sadie, nothing but heartache follows them each moment of everyday.
Betsie works to learn a job in the leather store until her cousin Nathan returns from his time in the service while during the week Betsie is allowed to live with the family. There she learns a trade she doesnt really embrace and sees firsthand how an English family is torn apart due to seeking satisfaction of self. When the mother leaves to fulfill her dreams, it rips apart the very heart of the family. Betsie feels compelled to stay if only for the benefit of the young daughter, Sadie, who is broken hearted. Matthew, her older brother, has some deep heart issues and while he tries to push away all attempts of friendship by Betsie, a letter comes in the mail for Matthew that further tears up the hearts of the father, Shelia and Betsie.
This is a very compelling story of various characters with broken hearts and lives, seeking to find peace in the midst of deep pain. Sadies character draws very close to Betsie and in time becomes a Christian, which bothers Betsie something fierce. Betsie has been raised to believe that one cannot know their eternal destination until after death. With all the turmoil going on in the small town and the lives of the two families, what comes to the forefront is where each character seeks to find solace.
This is a very interesting tale that continues in book two, The Bachelor, which came out this year. I will share with you my thoughts on that book as well. In the meantime, grab a copy and get lost in the pages of the book that to me was a very unique story I hadnt encountered before in this genre.

When their parents flee the Amish, nineteen-year-old Betsie and her seventeen-year-old sister Sadie are distraught. Under the dubious guidance of a doting aunt, the girls struggle to keep the secret, praying their parents will return before anyone learns the truth—a truth that may end all hopes of Betsie's marriage to Charley Yoder.

Can she help the Sullivan family and find peace in her new surroundings, or must she forget the bargain she made and seek refuge back in Plain City with protective and reliable Charley?
My Review:
This book was an absolute disaster for the characters! Reed takes a train wreck of a bargain and makes it a heck of a good story. The best way to describe this story is That 70's Show meets the Amish. I felt so bad for Betsie throughout the story, especially with how heartbroken she was when her parents bailed on the only life she knew. And when it came down to either marry the man she was supposed to wed, or forever live a life she was never meant to have, she has no idea which one is the right choice. A well written novel that reads like nothing else out there in the genre, colorful, vibrant, and a dynamic piece of fiction.
This book was provided by the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review.
ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Unusual Amish FictionNovember 17, 2013ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I am an incredible fan of Amish fiction, but I do hold it to a somewhat high standard. While I may jump at the chance to review an Amish fiction book, I do expect the story to be well-written, and the Christian message needs to be clear. I do not intend to read the same story over and over again. I am somewhat reticent when reading an author is new to me in the genre, and sometimes I am disappointed.
Not so with Stephanie Reed! I have never read a historical Amish fiction book, but I think that is the best way to describe this. I was even more pleased to read that the author had loosely based this story on a real life person. There is nothing better than that! The story was well-written, and she always kept the reader guessing as to what the next step in the story might be. She even left the story somewhat open-ended at the conclusion which leaves the option of a sequel (I hope so!). I have never read a story of someone leaving the Amish, and I was amazed to read about some of the more disconcerting beliefs associated with this faith.
The Christian message is strong in this novel. I have never seen potential fallacies of Amish belief stated so clearly in a book, and it truly made me realize that although I could never be Amish because of lifestyle, I don't think I could ever espouse their belief system. I also realize and accept the fact that it does depend on the Amish community as to what exactly is believed. Regardless, the Amish people tend to be way too legalistic for me, and that was true back in the 1970's, too.
I recommend this very different kind of Amish book to my readers. It is an easy read, and I believe it will make you consider your own faith, belief system, and what is truly important in this world.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
TammimaineAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5The Story Ended Too SoonOctober 27, 2013TammimaineAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Set in 1971, The Bargain introduces the reader to Betsie Troyer, a young Amish women, who is living in both the Amish and "English" worlds. Why? Because her cousin Nelson bought a Harness shop, but was drafted into the Army before he could learn the business. Nelson therefore asks Betsie to learn the business in order to teach it to him when he returns.
In Betsie's Amish world her parents have turned their back on their Amish faith after they learned the truth of Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Leaving her and her sister Sadie trying to figure out how to convince them to return to their community and their Amish faith.
In her English world she lives with the Sullivan Family, while she is learning the business. She finds her bishop's advice to spend as little time as possible with them nearly impossible, especially as she gets to know them.
I found the main characters easy to like, but my heart went out to the Sullivan's son, Michael. Michael was a witness to the Kent State shooting, which resulted in him withdrawing further into the 1970's peace culture. His attitude and outside appearance, masked his broken and searching heart. As a result his relationship with his father was strained, mainly because their personalities were so different. His father loved him but just didn't know how to relate to him.
Shelia Sullivan is another character that captured my heart. She is eleven years old and full of joy. Even when her and Michael's mother abandons the family to pursue an acting career.
Gerald Sullivan is the patriarch of the family. He has a good heart, and is trying to keep his family together, but when things spiral out of control his temper flares. This results with words being said that he regrets and relationships needing to be repaired.
I found myself drawn into the story, and didn't want to put it down. The reality of what the early 1970's were like was clear...the America of the 1950's, and early 1960's had disappeared. The Vietnam War both tore families apart and drew them together, as parents and their children navigated through those turbulent times.
The Bargain is the first book in The Plain City Peace series, isn't a stand-alone because Stephanie Reed doesn't bring the story to a neat and tidy conclusion; which left me wanting more... now I'll patiently wait for book two to find out what happens next. Or maybe not so patiently...
**The Bargain by Stephanie Reed was provided for me free by Litfuse Publicity Group in exchange for my honest review.

Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner.

For Immediate Release
Hanoi, May 6, 2014 -- The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Vietnam's Ministry of Construction (MOC) launched a technical assistance and training program under USAID's Vietnam Clean Energy Program to promote energy efficiency in the building sector. The long-term objective of the program is to support Vietnam's sustainable growth by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the more efficient usage of electricity in the building sector.
"Vietnam's aspirations for green growth depend on more efficient uses of electricity, which lower costs for consumers, facilitate innovation, and lessen Vietnam's need for fossil fuel-burning electricity production," said USAID Vietnam Mission Director Joakim Parker.
This program will provide technical assistance and training to officials and other stakeholders in the building sector. This technical assistance will enhance their capacity to manage, analyze and use building energy data, establish a database on building energy efficiency, and implement the Vietnam Building Energy Efficiency Code (VBEEC), which is in line with Vietnam's Green Growth Action Plan for the building sector. The program will also promote the VBEEC and green building technologies through examining market incentives and energy demand management practices.
USAID assistance will be coordinated with MOC and provincial departments of construction in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Nghe An and Thanh Hoa, as well as with universities and institutions, and building developers.
The launch event was led by Vice Minister Phan Thi My Linh of MOC and Acting Senior Deputy Assistant Administrator Jason Foley of USAID, who is visiting Vietnam. The event included representatives from various ministries, central and provincial government agencies, professional associations, the private sector and media agencies.
Representatives from the private sector joined a panel discussion on how to promote energy efficient technologies and possible market incentives for energy efficiency and green buildings. The representatives provided recommendations on access to financing for building construction that meets energy saving standards.

Our industry analysis highlights macro industry trends in the overall sector and micro trends faced by companies that do business in the industry.

Revenue for the Automobile Manufacturing industry is expected to total $559.8 billion in 2014, up 11.3% from 2013. Industry revenue has been increasing at an annualized rate of 14.2% during the past five years, driven by rising domestic demand across urban and rural areas and increasing exports.
Industry profitability was relatively low in 2008 at 6.2% of revenue, due to weaker local demand, falling prices, rising production costs and increased sales of low-priced and low-profit cars. Since then, however, profit margins have been widening as the industry benefited from booming automobile sales growth. Profit is estimated at 10.8% of revenue in 2014.... purchase to read more

"Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love."
"Mind is the great lever of all things; human thought is the process by which human ends are ultimately answered"
"Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course"
"Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of."
"God's great cosmic joke on the human race was requiring that men and women live together in marriage"
"If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'"
"Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, "I am of no value", is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought - so what are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said that you are your own master."
"Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment. As you become successful, you will need a great deal of self-discipline not to lose your sense of balance, humility, and commitment."

When Time Magazine labeled Lake Providence, La., "The Poorest Place in America" in an August 1994 edition, Don Boyett unconsciously accepted a challenge. As pastor of Providence Church, Boyett knew the power of words to knock down or build up his congregation and the town he had grown to love.
While U.S. Census Figures supported Time's Aug.15 article that year, Boyett instinctively knew that, to prevent a spirit of poverty from shuttering his church, as it had the town's only pawn shop, he would have to teach and model extravagant giving before the 150 members who had been with him since February 1981.
This week, as Providence Church celebrates its 32nd anniversary beginning Feb. 10, a legacy of generosity is returning rich rewards to Boyett and his flock. To mark the milestone on the Sunday before Valentine's Day, the church once again demonstrated a spirit of giving.
This time with an award for a Houston woman who inspired Providence Church to give $19,000 two years ago toward building an orphanage in Rwanda for children abandoned by tribal massacres in the African country. The woman, Jessica Tomlinson Maher, and representatives of the orphanage-building group International Corporating Missions, were on hand for the celebration, featuring music by Grammy Award-nominee Jeremy Calloway.
For its faithfulness in sowing through the years, Providence Church is reaping an unexpected harvest in time for the holiday that celebrates love, which Boyett says, characterizes his ministry. "I don't mind by saying, humbly, that's the gift God's given us—loving the unlovely unconditionally," Boyett said.
Known in the farm community of 5,400 it serves for the words "You Are Loved" over the front door, Providence Church is receiving nearly $60,000 this week from a fellowship in Colorado's "Sweetheart City," Loveland.
Resurrection Fellowship, a church in the city where Valentine's Day cards get the world-famous postmark from Loveland, is sending a check that will enable Providence Church to purchase nearly seven acres of land for a future sanctuary, replacing its current multi-purpose building that houses a gymnasium, classrooms and a worship center. The building is also utilized by the community, comprised mostly of farmers.
In a single offering on the second night of a four-day conference that highlighted supernatural provision from heaven, members of the Loveland church—commonly known as Rez—gave within a few thousand dollars the price of the Louisiana real estate, negotiated while Boyett and others in Colorado had their eyes turned to the skies. The landowners agreed to discount their asking price of $85,000 in a last-minute deal for the exact parcel that Boyett had for years claimed by faith, even as his church gave money to build an orphanage that most members will never see.
Boyett, who spoke that night about three memorable, life-changing moments in his life and ministry, stood beside Rez Senior Pastor Jonathan Wiggins moments before hundreds of church members streamed forward with hugs, cash, check and credit card donations for the Louisiana pastor, whose eyes flowed with tears.
Since the conclusion of "Convergence: Let Heaven Come" at Rez on Saturday, donations for the Louisiana land purchase exceed its price tag, and they may be earmarked for future construction of a sanctuary on the site, Wiggins said.
"That offering, in my mind, was a supernatural opportunity to invest back in him," said Wiggins, a son-in-law of Boyett and former worship leader at Providence Church where his ministry began at age 16. It's also where he met his future wife, Boyett's only daughter, Amy.
Like Providence Church where, as a 14-year-old boy Wiggins visited with his father during a troubled time in their family's history, Rez aspires to be a place where love is extravagant, even for people who feel unlovely. Wiggins says he's proud to share that legacy with his father-in-law.
In another display of extraordinary giving, Wiggins presented a Colorado pastor who spoke about heaven's realities on the conference's third night, a check for $20,000. Pastor John Leach of Jubilee Fellowship, a multi-campus church spread over several, southern Denver suburbs, visibly shook as he accepted Wiggins' gift. Leach was a pastor at Rez before it assisted him with a church plant in Centennial, Colo., home to one of Jubilee's suburban campuses.
In rural Louisiana, land is comparatively cheaper than in Colorado and, while $54,000 isn't much for six-plus acres of land, Boyett calls the amount "miraculous, heavenly provision," because it represents money his church didn't have.
"The huge thing is that another place cared enough about us," said Boyett who, at 63, hopes he gets to enjoy the fruits of his ministry in a new sanctuary, and continue a legacy of giving to other churches and ministries.
"Jonathan and I both believe that if we have a need, we sow into somebody else. We believe and teach that," Boyett said
Rez is itself in the midst of a capital campaign for expansion of its worship center, classrooms and meeting areas and, like his father-in-law, Wiggins believes it's good to sow monetary seed when looking to meet financial needs.
That, however, isn't his primary motivation for leading Rez in giving to a church located in a town where there isn't a public park, swimming pool, theater, shopping mall, McDonald's or even a Wal-Mart. But he hopes others will follow.
"Wouldn't it be an amazing thing if, for a place known for its poverty, the Body of Christ universal, helped this church (Providence) build a sanctuary," Wiggins said.
One man has no doubts that Providence Church and Boyett have a bright future in Louisiana, despite Time Magazine's harsh words in describing the town with "all the problems they have in New York City and Chicago, but nothing to fight them with."
"The Lord's been impressing upon me that he (Boyett) is to immediately go forward with building what God's put in his heart," Rez member Howard Skinner said. "He's to start up the mountain like Abraham did with Isaac, and God will have the person coming up the other side."
Those words provided an additional reason to celebrate Providence Church's 32nd anniversary.
Because words like Skinner's have power to build you up, not knock you down, which has always been Boyett's hope for his church and the town he loves.
Louisiana Church Reaps Unexpected Harvest on Rwanda Seed
When Time Magazine labeled Lake Providence, La., "The Poorest Place in America" in an August 1994 edition, Don Boyett unconsciously accepted a challenge. As pastor of Providence Church, Boyett knew the power of words to knock down or build up his congregation and the town he had grown to love.

Commercial Certification
Residential drinking water treatment unit products have many standards and protocols available to companies to demonstrate that their products have been tested and certified to verify that the materials that come into contact with drinking water are not harmful, the products are structurally sound and the performance reduction claims are accurate. Commercial products were seemingly left in the dust, however, and end users do not have a significant amount of guidance within the standards to make the same distinctions about these larger systems.
Testing & certification options for commercial water treatment systems
Making Marketing Priorities
Google, Kleenex, Xerox, Wite-Out and Seeing Eye Dogs. These household names all share a common trait: They all carry an automatic recognition stimulus to the brain, yet not one of them is an actual product. They are however, brand names that have become synonymous with their product category. Have you Googled something lately? If you have a runny nose do you reach for a facial tissue or a Kleenex?
Four key aspects of a strong marketing plan
The Lowdown on Lead
In 2011, the Water Quality Assn. (WQA) reported in Water Quality Products on the history of lead in drinking water and the difficulties of testing for it.
The challenges of creating a lead removal certification protocol
Planned Spending, Smart Spending

For All the Right Reasons
More confidence in your employees. Stronger work relationships. Faster preparedness of new staff. Fewer errors in the field.
If these are goals you would like to achieve in your company, the Water Quality Assn. (WQA) is introducing an effective way to meet them — and it is a way that has already been proven.

The Three-Legged Stool
Imagine settling into your favorite restaurant, pub or even lunch counter. You are hungry or thirsty, and ready and willing to spend your hard-earned money. You see one seat left at the bar or counter, and it is a stool with three legs. As you pull out the stool, ready to sit and enjoy a meal or some fine spirits, you notice one of the legs is badly cracked, bent or broken. You know that if you sit on that stool, you are probably going to fall over.
The three parts of a successful marketing campaign
Sales Analysis for Sales Effectiveness
Frank Lloyd Wright advised, "Get the habit of analysis—analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind."
A clever business is one that looks at every facet of the sales cycle. This includes a periodic, thorough sales analysis. According to business intelligence software company MicroStrategy, "Sales reporting and analysis provide visibility into a company's sales pipeline, integrating information from sales, customer and financial sources for a complete picture of sales performance.
Plan for the future with periodic business analysis
New Year, New Laws
Whether you slept through the ball drop at midnight or yelled "Happy New Year!" with your friends and family, 2014 is well underway. With the new year came some new laws that everyone in the drinking water treatment industry we should be aware of.

Feeling the Fear
The year started off with big news in the water treatment industry. The chemical spill in West Virginia, which affected more then 300,000 people, topped national headlines for weeks in January. The "do not use" advisory lasted more then a week for portions of that population, forcing them to rely on bottled water for drinking, cooking and bathing for up to 10 days.

Elections for two open seats on Charlottesville's City Council are still months away, but there's a shake-up in the candidates Wednesday, as outside City Hall, a college student announces he's running for a seat.
22-year-old Piedmont Virginia Community College student, Andrew Williams, formally announced he will run as an Independent.
Williams said in addition to being a student, he works full-time, and believes he'll bring an innovative perspective to City Council.
"Experience is very important, but in my mind it's not everything," says Wiliams. "In my mind, perspective is also important. There will always be problems and issues and you don't always have to have experience to find solutions."
Williams will be up against incumbent Dave Norris and newcomer Kristen Szakos, who each beat out Julian Taliaferro during Saturday's Democratic Primary.

A PERMANENT tribute has been unveiled to a woman who was killed along with her unborn baby in a horrific crash.
Calvin Craig Connah, 22, of Ffordd Derw, Leeswood, near Mold, was jailed for five years in January for causing the death of Maelor Hospital worker Christina Barchetti, 35, of Beecherley Road, Wrexham, and her unborn baby Bella by dangerous driving.
The tragedy occurred on the A541 at Pontblyddyn, on October 22, 2012.
It left the community in shock and floral tributes still adorn the spot on the busy Wrexham to Mold road where the crash happened
Now the Barchetti family, of Hillbury Road, Wrexham, have installed a permanent reminder of their daughter and granddaughter Bella with a memorial bench placed in one of Miss Barchetti's favourite places – the park in Howard's Field, near Hillbury Road.
Miss Barchetti's mother, Carla, said: "We have planned this for quite a while. We chose the location on Hillbury Road because Christina always used to walk her dog there and I used to take her there as a child.
"Her brother, Martin, completed the Manchester 10km run to raise more than £1,000 for both the bench and a donation to the maternity ward at the Maelor.
"The bench looks lovely. We are really pleased with it."
Miss Barchetti, who was driving perfectly properly at 40mph in the wet conditions on her own side of the road, suffered terrible injuries in the impact as her car was pushed back through a wall into woodland after Connah lost control of his vehicle and smashed head on into her Ford Ka.
She died at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, where she worked and her baby daughter, Bella, was stillborn during an emergency Caesarean operation.
As the bench was unveiled yesterday, Miss Barchetti's partner Graham Clarke said: "I would like to thank all the local people and Christina's family and friend who have kindly donated towards Christina and her baby daughter's memorial bench.
"I would also like to thank Tim Pegg, of Persimmon Homes, for their donation and allowing us to have the bench in Howard's Field Park, and a big thank you to everybody for preparing the base for the bench.
"We hope all the local people will enjoy the park and the bench as it was Christina's favourite place to walk her dog, Conka. We know Christina will be proud of her brother Martin and his partner Sarah for running the Manchester 10km and raising money to support the labour ward at Wrexham Maelor Hospital."
Miss Barchetti's family are seeking the public's support in a crusade to change the law relating to the prosecution of motorists who have caused the death of an unborn child by dangerous driving.
The 'Bella's Law' petition, which "asks Parliament to introduce or amend the law to enable a charge of causing death of the unborn child, by careless or dangerous driving", had been signed online by 1,787 people as of yesterday at 5pm.
"We also have an online petition, which we would be most grateful if everybody could sign it for baby Bella. It is for her to be recognised," added Mr Clarke.
