This seemed like a very odd story at first but as I got into it I really enjoyed it. Beth Wiseman is a great teller of Amish tales and she really picks out interesting issues to write about. Apparently this is the first in a series so it will continue to be interesting. Jake Lantz runs a bookstore that he inherited from his grandfather. His employee Eva is a few years younger than him and came to work for him when she was just a teen. There is romantic interest between both of them but there are doubts on both sides about how to transition into a relationship. Meanwhile, Yvonne flies in to try to talk Jake into selling an old book he has in the basement that he promised his grandfather he would never sell. Yvonne has a client who is very anxious to own this very rare book. The story goes from there into a very twisted and complicated tale that still keeps you reading to the end. If you were wanting an uncomplicated, feel good tale, move away from this one. If you want an intriguing, thought-provoking story, grab this one.
I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my own honest opinion.
