Wonderful book! If you like Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter's Amish books, you will love this book as well based on Mennonites (a off-shoot of Amish religion). This is the 1st of 3 books in a series..2nd book is due out this fall. Can't wait to read the next book!
From back cover:
Twenty Three years ago, Marie Koeppler left her Old Order Mennonite family and faith to begin an exciting new life with Jeb Quinn. But her husbands' early death cut her dreams short. Widowed and alone, Marie makes just enough to survive and raise her daughter, Beth, in the outside world.
Ensnared by life's rhythm's, Marie has but a faint memory of her former life in Sommerfeld, Kansas.

Reluctantly, MArie and Beth return to the Mennonite community Marie had once abandoned. But sooon after their arrival, a chain of mysterious thefts raises the community's suspicions against the "outsiders". Can Marie prove their innocence, or will she be forced to flee once more?
Henry Braun thought he'd gotten his love for Marie out of his sytem but soonb egins to wonder if she's stolen more than his heart. When it's all said and done, can Henry and Marie let bygones be bygones, or has their love been doomed from the start?
