Luke and Sam Shrock are brothers who are part of an old order Amish community. They have had a rough time since growing up since their father had done something that upset the community when they were boys and they felt the weight of the community’s disapproval. Luke is nominated for deacon by some unknown person. Luke isn’t worried because he does not feel qualified and is sure one of the other candidates will be the new deacon. However, it doesn’t go that way and suddenly Luke is fielding all kinds of problems in the community. He makes some of his own when he makes the proclamation that the community is interested in foster care. No one seems too up on the idea except Mollie Graber, the new schoolteacher. Sam has his eye on Mollie since the farm where he trains horses is next to the schoolhouse where Mollie lives. Meanwhile, Luke’s wife Izzy is having trouble with the whole deacon’s wife thing and the fact that she was a foster child herself and wants no part of raising another one.
This is just a fun story with some interesting twists and turns and for anyone who likes to read this genre, this will prove to be a really well written, interesting and entertaining offering.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this books which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
