A Life and Love in Jeopardy
A woman's search for truth and love. . .Martha is the youngest of the Hostettler sisters and the most daring. While her main focus has been on her dog breeding business, Martha has also been troubled about the continuing attacks against her family and home in an Ohio Amish community.
When the prime suspect turns out to be Luke Friesen--the man she loves--Martha decides to play detective. But what will the search for truth cost?
Luke seems to have taken the wrong road in life. With a definite motive and a myriad of methods, he looks guilty as sin. Will Martha's hope in his innocence be enough to bring the real criminal to justice?
Roman Hostettler disapproves of the love blossoming between his daughter and Luke. In his determination to drive the couple apart, discord and dissension grows within the family.
Will Luke and Martha's love for each other and their hope in God waiver? Or will they find the courage to seek justice and bring their love to light?
Martha Hostettler's family is being attacked, and she is determined to find out who is the culprit. More and more evidence seems to stack up against her admirer Luke Friesen. How will he be able redeem himself to her, not to mention her father? With many authors writing about the Amish culture, it is hard to find a book that has a interesting and unique plot. Mrs. Brunstetter has no problem in this book. The air of mystery permeated the pages. I had my own suspicions while reading of who did what and why. I wanted to finish as quickly as possible to find out who the attacker was! The Amish ways are intertwined in the book, avoiding the feelings of being awkward or forced. Questions raised in the previous Sisters of Holmes books are finally answered in this book. The suspense has been growing throughout the series and has come to a satisfying end. I know readers of the first two books will not be disappointed in the surprising (although slightly abrupt) conclusion.
Never fear fans, it finally happens!!! After 2 years of trouble, we finally find out in this book, who really is doing all these horrible things to our favorite family. We will be suspicious of several people. Luke who Roman fired, Gary Walker who promised he would get even with Grace, maybe even the sheriff?? As always, our favorite family grows and also grows with the Lord. I am sad that this is the last one I have in this series. I can't get enough. Ms. Brunstetter is a wonderful author.
This is a very good book based on Amish, but full of the hope that God gives to us in all lifes situations. I had a hard time putting it down once I started to read it. It is a mystery story too. I strongly recommand this book.
As always, Wanda presents the Amish way of life as hard and yet you almost wish you could be part of it. Book arrived as promised. Good job.
Wonderful book! Would recommend all of Wanda Brunstetter's books if you like to read about fictional amish.
