I have to disagree with the other reviews. I love Amish book reading, but this one made me feel like the author was running out of ideas for books. She spends pages describing the kitchen, the barns, the food- The plot moves slowly slowly slowly... then I think I'm reading a teen novel- The main character is SO in love again and again and again.. Lather rinse repeat... Feels like the book was written so that we would want to find out who sets the barn fires, in #2 or #3 book in the series. Very disappointed.

Good Amish mystery and romance. Sadness and joy all mixed up along with information on the Amish way of life.
What an exciting Amish novel book! It was hard for me to put it down at bedtime ~ it was a wonderful story of how the Amish folk all work together in their communities and the love that was exemplified for the neighbors and family members is just so neat to read about in these days when one doesn't really get to know their neighbors. I thoroughly enjoy reading these Amish books. I lived in Amish Country in Ohio. I have seen the barns, the fields of corn ,and other vegetables and we often stopped and frequented the restaurants and bought gifts in their shops! Wonderful memories and I have read so many books and enjoy the many Amish authors! This one is about someone who is setting fires in Amish country.It begins David and Matilda Beiler's barn and goes on.The Amish are such good people who would do such evil to them? Then a second and third Barns burn what action can the Amish take to stop this from continuing? Why would anyone be a pyromaniac to the Amish who bother no one?
