From the Back Cover

From bestselling authors David & Beverly Lewis

Melissa James has a picture-perfect existence--or so it seems. In reality, she has been looking over her shoulder her entire life. Just as her secrets are about to catch up with her, she seeks a haven in Pennsylvania Amish Country. Will her stay bring her peace, or will it bring danger to the Plain community?

"...dramatic and well-written story. Fans will enjoy this tender tale with a twist."--RT Book Reviews

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've had my nose in a book, for as long as I remember. When I was about 9 years old, I started writing my own stories. By sixth grade, I'd hand-written a 66-page semi-autobiographical book titled, "She Shall Have Music."

After I was married and our three children were in middle school, I began submitting articles and short fiction to various magazines.

My first book (Holly's First Love) was published in May 1993, the start of a 14-book series for pre-teen girls. Soon after, my first chapter book was published for 7-10-year-old readers ("Big Bad Beans") which later became part of my 24-book series, The Cul-de-Sac Kids. I wrote another long-running series for girls, titled "SummerHill Secrets," which was set very close to Neffsville, PA, where I grew up--near the heart of Amish country.

But it was the story of my grandmother Ada Buchwalter's shunning by her ultra-strict father and subsequently her old order Mennonite community that nudged me toward writing adult fiction. THE SHUNNING was published in 1997 by Bethany House Publishers, and along with its sequels, has touched a nerve in millions of readers intrigued by the Plain tradition of Lancaster County, PA. Many readers have enjoyed the Hallmark Channel's adaptation of this book and the other books in the Heritage of Lancaster County series.

My passion for Amish-related stories continues to keep me up at night, and I've written over three dozen novels for adults set in Lancaster County.

When I'm between writing deadlines, I enjoy hiking in the Rocky Mountains with my husband. Cooking from scratch, playing Mozart at the piano, and making family memory albums, as well as traveling to meet my devoted readers during book tours, are some of my very favorite things. I also adore reading biographies and memoirs, as well as classic literature.

From the opening pages to the end, this novel is fast paced and full of suspense, yet the main characters are tender and sensitive. Will love triumph over evil? I loved this book by a favorite author and her husband.

This was my first novel to read by David Lewis. He did write this with his wife who I truly enjoy for the insight given of a culture that is so different from my Mormon culture. Their values and family ties are strong, which I appreciate.

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016

I enjoy a good twist or two in a book, but this book had too many and was confusing..more like an emotional roller coaster for the reader. This did t seem like Beverly Lewis' style, but it was also co-written with her husband, so of course he would have a different style as well.

I enjoyed this book very much, and it opened my eyes to things I knew nothing about. Though I have read many books about the Amish, including those by Beverly Lewis, I had never before heard of pow-wow healers. The story is interesting and poignant. Though this is not a regular love story, it is a story of love. I might read this book again sometime. My heart was touched.

Things happen in our lives for a reason and a purpose. Even when bad things happen we can allow God to work those things out for our benefit and His glory. God does indeed lead us and guide us, even when we don't recognize His hand.
