About the Book
As love restores Rhoda, a sudden tragedy is the test of faith she never saw coming...
More settled in her heart than ever before, Rhoda Byler feels a newfound confidence living in the Old Order Amish settlement she helped establish in Orchard Bend, Maine. Though it has been almost a year since one brother left, Rhoda is happy to be working alongside the other brother as they tend and nurture the settlement's orchard. Time has helped to heal Rhoda's wounds, and she finds that even her unusual gift of profound intuition is less of a burden as she continues to seek God's wisdom and purpose for her life.
But when an Englischer friend's grandchild is taken deeper into hiding from her grandmother, can Rhoda's gift make a difference or will it simply be a catalyst to another season of doubt and misunderstanding? As she resolves to stay on course, suddenly a shocking tragedy challenges the young settlement like never before, threatening to uproot Rhoda's peace and the future of everything she holds dear.

My Review
Cindy Woodsmall is a great story teller. I have enjoyed her books from the start and I am not a huge fan of Amish fiction. This entire series has been so unique and different I have no choice but to continue reading! The first book in the Amish Vines and Orchards series is the best but they are a continuing story and go together as one main story line. The last book adds a great closure to the story lines and I really enjoyed the last few chapters. One of things I love is how Cindy includes a section at the beginning of the book to say what has happened in the past books. This helps the reader remember the details then continue on with the story. I wish more book series had this because a little refresher is so helpful!
This books addresses the complicated love triangle that started in book one but also includes varying characters which I thought added more to the last book.
If you are new to Amish fiction or looking for a different Amish story line, these books are a must read.
