When Everything's Fallen Apart, Can She Piece Together the Truth?
After Savannah Mast's fianc dumps her a week before their wedding, she flees California for the safety of her Amish grandmother's farm near Nappanee, Indiana, where she used to spend her summers. Savannah intends her stay to be brief, but when an Amish woman goes into labor in the middle of a blizzard and needs Savannah's help, she finds herself unexpectedly entangled in their family's drama. The woman's oldest daughter, Miriam, goes missing and Savannah's childhood friend Tommy Miller is implicated.
Jane Berger, the local historian and owner of a nearby quilt shop, tells her a similar tale of another woman's disappearance in the 1800s, inspiring Savannah to do all she can to help with the search for Miriam. But when Tommy's own cousin testifies against him, she isn't sure who she can trust.
And when events stir up painful memories of her mother, she must face her own truth: that her engagement isn't the only thing in her life that is broken.
5 Stars, Dual Narration
PIECING IT ALL TOGETHER (PLAIN PATTERNS, #1)
by Leslie Gould
This is an Amish book about some Amish folks, but the main character, Savannah is not Amish. Her father was and he didn't join the church. She has kept in touch with her Amish relatives through the years, however. Savannah's story is contemporary.
Emma is a long, lost relative of Savannah, her story setting is historical, she is Amish.
The two women have a history of loss in common, the author takes care in letting you know whose story you are following. She gives a satisfying conclusion, the book is part of a series, but they are standalone books.
Much appreciation for the complimentary copy from #lesliegould #bethanyhousepublishers I was under no obligation to post a review. #piecingitalltogether #plainpatternsseries #AmishFiction #dualnarration #coverlove #favoritebooks #inspirational #inspyfiction
