Description
After leaving her outwardly successful but unsatisfying life for Amish simplicity, Annie Friesen continues to dismantle her technology-dependent world. Despite her best intentions and her love for Rufus Beiler, one challenge after another falls across her path. In counterpart, Ruth, an Amish woman, wrestles with her reasons for leaving the community despite the pain it causes the people who love her. When the Amish and the English work together on a community project, an explosion hurls doubt in every direction. Determined to find proof of what happened, Annie learns lessons in trust, humility, and letting go.

Maureen T, Reviewer
The author has woven a story that takes place during several generations, and what makes it really special she has incorporated her own ancestor as a model for one of the characters. We are in present time Colorado in an Amish settlement and town, and we are also in the Pennsylvania area of colonial American during the Revolutionary times.
There are parallels and yet there are many differences, and surprisingly among the same family loyalties to British and others to the Patriots. Present day this story focus on a very successful businesswoman who now wants to embrace the Amish whole-heartedly. Wow she has earned mega bucks, and is ultra smart, but now she wants the peace that comes with being Amish. Is she doing this for a man she has found herself attracted to, or because she truly wants to be Amish?
I loved the road we travel with Annie and her journey, and her distant relative and her journey in early America. I almost felt that Annie was really returning to her roots, and thus closing a circle.
A read that will keep you page turning and wanting more as you reach the end, and there are more books in this series that you don’t want to miss.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Shiloh Run Press, and was not required to give a positive review.
