When the Heart Cries by Cindy Woodsmall

Sisters of the Quilt, Book 1. Hannah Lapp, seventeen and Amish, is in love with Mennonite Paul Waddell. Aware that this relationship will change her relationship with her family and her church, she anxiously awaits her 18th birthday when she is to be considered an adult. On the evening of their engagement, she is attacked and assaulted by an "Englisher" throwing her into a deep depression. When her brother Luke and her friend Mary are in an automobile accident while courting in a buggy, Hannah is faced with yet more misery. This story is a page-turner. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. Sandy Penton
