A Sister's Hope by Wanda E Brunstetter

Martha Hostetler, the third sister, is still raising dogs and working at a restaurant and becoming ever more paranoid about the severe acts of violence that are directed at her parent's farmstead. Luke Friesen is in love with Martha but her father has a great dislike for Luke and forbids her to see him. Everyone is suspect. Luke, because Roman fired him; Mr. Collins because he wants to buy their place; Toby because he and Luke have had a falling out; Englischers because sometimes they do it for amusement; even Gary Walker, former boyfriend of Grace's. Aunt Rosemary visits with the sheriff but isn't confident that he is doing all he should. Grace is upset because Anna's "Poppa" has appeared on the scene. What turmoil. Brunstetter does a wonderful job of tying up loose ends for an enjoyable read. Sandy Penton
