    I absolutely loved this 2nd book in the series just as much as the first. It is a very easy read. The Hostetters are an amish family living in ohio with their their 3 daughters. There have been attacks on the their family with no known culprit. The story just flows and shows the strength the family has after the attacks are their family. This book in particular is about Ruth , the secons daughter, and the hard ache and loss that she goes through.

    This was book number 2 in this series. Again, the attacks on this family continued and the person responsible was not identified. Tlhis book dealt with sister number 2 (Ruth). She was married only two months when someone in a truck ran her and her husband in their buggy off the road. Her husband was killed. She went into a deep depression for several months. Finally she went to work for a neighbor who had 5 children. He needed help as his wife had died . Not only did she help the children but she was helped by being around them. Again, the ending left you up in the air as to who the killer was. Oher than that, this was a good book and dealt with several issues.

    I love Wanda Brunstetters books. The joy you feel reading them, the feeling that god is near you. That time and love can healing anything. I really like these books and the mystery behind who is doing all the attacks to the family.
