Another in the Amish life series about Wells Landing,
Oklahoma. As the story starts Lorie Kauffman and her family are grieving the
death of her father from an accident. Lorie and her step-mother go to the
county coroner’s office to identify the body. That is difficult to do, but the
more difficult thing is that Lorie notices that her father has a tattoo! That
is not something an Amish man should have.
When she tries to ask her step-mother about it she gets no
answer and is told to let it go and not ask again. But the tattoo has an
attraction that makes her think that it was gotten in memory of her mother,
whom she doesn’t really remember because she was so young when her biological
mother died.
So, Lorie sets out on a quest. She takes a look at the items
the police return to the family that belonged to her father. In his wallet is a
drivers license, another no no in the Amish community. But low and behold the
license has a different address and a different name than Kauffman. What does
that mean, did he have another family somewhere else?
As Lorie works to unravel the mystery she will discover that
he father was an honorable man but one with many secrets. She will meet a
grandmother she didn’t know she had. She will meet a nice English boy who will
turn her head and make her question whether she should marry the Amish boy,
Jonah, that she has been dating forever.
Just when I thought I couldn’t find an Amish novel that
would offer a new story line and some new twists this one came along. I was
very pleased with the story and how it developed. I enjoyed the mystery as well
as the struggles a young Amish woman will have.
The story maybe wraps up a bit too nicely, but what did I
expect?
I enjoyed the story and think it would be a good discussion
book for a church book club to read.
Enjoy!
