When young David Dalery drives from his farm into Willcox, Arizona one day in August of 1912 he discovers pregnant, fifteen year-old Rainy (a victim of rape, and beaten by her father because of her condition) and promptly marries her. Appalled that David has married this unsuitable girl, his family disowns him, and the church people snubs them. Can David's faith in God sustain him? Can this instant marriage survive?

Really two books in one! First a book of puppet craft which details how to construct papier m[ch puppets, cloth, moveable-mouth puppets, how to build a folding puppet stage and instructions about using puppets in performance. Many pages of action illustrations and patterns to help guide the user. The second half of the book includes a wide variety of puppet playscripts including Old Testament themes, church life plays, Christian behavior, Bible lessons, special days and other topics. The best possible book for a beginner or for a teacher who is instructing others to do puppetry. A valuable book for every church school library.
