Velera Adams

The Mennonite Rogue Velera Adams

Maybe it was because her father was an alcoholic who was mostly absent. Maybe it was because she had ADD in a time before it was a recognized disorder. Nonetheless, Beverly was a stubborn, back talking, headstrong child who gave her mother and sister fits. At age nine, she accepted Christ, which changed everything. Well, almost everything. At thirteen she fell in love with the handsome and charismatic fifteen year old, Joseph. She knew Joseph would be the love of her life. She couldn't have been more wrong. It was only her faith and the love for her children that enabled her to survive the decades of lies, betrayal, poverty, and deceit. Joseph was one step ahead of an organized crime ring. He was constantly involved with other women. There was hardly ever a moment of peace and security. For Joseph was far from who she thought he was when he had told her of his calling to become a minister. She had married a Mennonite Rogue.
