When a letter arrives from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Angela and Rose decide to visit Aunt Silvia, their mother’s Mennonite sister, in the heart of Amish country. This vacation could provide the opportunity both sisters need to sort out their issues. And yet instead of finding a new way of connecting with each other, Angela and Rose discover surprising family secrets that add to their strife and threaten Rose’s romance with a new beau.

Through it all, the two sisters must find the faith necessary to face their personal problems and allow God to restore hope and healing to their hearts and relationship as only He can.

My thoughts: I like that this book was about sisters and their relationship. It was an interesting look at the baggage we can carry from the family we grow up in. It's interesting to get to know both Rose and Angela as they work through their issues with one another in the picturesque Lancaster County. I like that this book is a little different than your typical Amish fiction.
I received this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest review.
