Description (Publisher Website)

Beloved author Gayle Roper begins a contemporary Amish series readers are sure to love....

Englischer Kristie Matthews’ move to an Amish family farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, starts on a bad note as the young schoolteacher is bitten by a dog. A trip to the local ER leads to an encounter with an old man who hands her a key and swears her to silence.

But when Kristie’s life is endangered, she suspects there’s a connection to the mysterious key. While solving the mystery (and staying alive), Kristie must decide whether her lawyer boyfriend, Todd Reasoner, is really right for her....or if Jon Clarke Griffin, the new local man she’s met, is all he seems to be.

Mystery, romance, and a beautiful Amish settling....just the thing readers are clamoring for.

Review
I really enjoyed this look into the life of the Amish.  I think more than any other book of this genre that I've read, it really focused on a lot of the everyday life vs. idea of what we think it is.  The story was fun and kept me reading, the writing was excellent. Anyone who is a fan of this genre should put this at the top of their TBR list.  This is definitely one that you won't want to miss.

Thanks to the publisher for sending me a review copy of this book.
