Fiona Flanagan has had a rough childhood and has now decided to return to her roots in Pennsylvania Dutch country. Hoping to set up business as a midwife for both the English and the Amish, she has a rude awakening when she is interrogated by the local sheriff upon arrival in town.
Ted left the Amish way of life and is now the local lawman in a small quiet town. Problem is, it isn't as quiet as it once was. Vandalism is starting to become a frequent occurrence and Ted must get to the bottom of it no matter what.
Fiona is getting to know her father's family and has no obvious reasons for seeking her mother's family. They apparently disowned her when she left the Amish and married Fiona's father. A seemingly harmless act reveals her mother's family and their avoidance of her hurts Fiona more than she cares to admit.
Ted and Fiona come to care for each other, but Ted has been betrayed in the past and has issues with trust. When the vandalism escalates and hits too close to home, will Fiona help or will she be too afraid of the consequences to do the right thing?
I normally avoid the books that deal with the Amish. This book tried to have some action in it, but it fell a little flat. It was a good enough book to keep me occupied for a day or two, but that's about it. There seems to be a whole series revolving around the Flanagans, but I don't plan on reading any more.
