Tears of the Bishop

the long version

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 1886. Bishop Elijah Hartzler's sermons are engaging and honest, but his pain is evident. His wife, Justine, is pregnant with their third child, although the first two did not survive their births. When tragedy strikes, the community rallies, but, in his anguish, Elijah pushes everyone away. Stumbling upon him hiding in a cornfield, Anna Glick consoles the grieving man, and her words ease his sorrow. A friendship forms between the two, and, through the tears, a connection develops ... growing into something far deeper.
