“We’ve been blessed,” Samuel said, his eyes twinkling. “And now you’re part of that blessing too, Margaret.”

Overwhelmed, Margaret realized that her life had taken a turn she never could have predicted. What began as a desperate arrangement had transformed into an opportunity for a new beginning, a chance to be part of a family that valued her for who she was, not her size or the debts she carried.

As she lay in bed that night, Margaret reflected on the unexpected fortune that had found her. Here, on this land, among these people, she could finally see a future filled with possibilities. Her heart lightened, Margaret drifted to sleep, dreaming of the life she would build—a life rooted in love, acceptance, and the promise of something extraordinary.
