Set in the village of Middlefield, Ohio, this tale of the Amish is a bit unusual. Mariah has married Levi who has a twin brother Gabriel. Of late, Levi has spent a lot of time working for a yankee and has not been home much. After four months of marriage, Levi sends Mariah a note saying he is sorry, but he is leaving the church and her and seek his place in the world. Needless to say, Mariah is stunned and mystified. What has she done wrong? Levi's brother Gabe has loved Mariah from afar but is only concerned with Mariah's welfare (she has just realized she is pregnant...) so he approaches Levi to come home.
In the meantime, Tobias and Rachel are at odds with each other. Not courting, but a part of the community, the reader senses that Tobias and Rachel are destined to be together. Rachel and Christian seem to be headed to the altar. Will Rachel realise Tobias really has feelings for her? Will Tobias get past his fear of rejection and talk to Rachel?
Fuller creates a bit of excitement in her novel of Amish love and lovers. I liked it. Sandy Penton
