Cara Bentley, a romance novelist, is surprised when she finds a document among her late grandparents' possessions that indicates her grandfather was adopted. Why had she never heard this before? Cara's quest for her roots takes her to Bird-in-Hand, a quaint Amish town in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she takes a room on the Zook farm-first introduced in The Key. But in the face of a closed Plain society, her search seems destined for failure. If not for the money in John Bentley's will, would anyone care where Cara came from? Will she ever discover her grandfather's heritage? Will she ever know her own?

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Second in an Outstanding Series,
By Maudeen Wachsmith "BeachReader" (Port Townsend, WA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Document (The Amish Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)
In THE DOCUMENT, romance writer Cara Bentley has just discovered her recently-deceased grandfather's adoption papers and decides to search for his biological family - a search which brings her to Lancaster Co., PA where she rents the rooms recently vacated by Kristie Matthews. The attorney she employs to assist her in her search? Kristie's ex-boyfriend Todd. It's soon apparent Cara and Todd are much more suited than Kristie and Todd were. But there's someone who doesn't want Cara to find her grandfather's family.The author gives insights into Amish culture including several traditions which are hard for the English (anyone not Amish) to understand. THE DOCUMENT is doubly enjoyable as its romance-writer heroine talks about the respectability of romance and even mentions having more difficulty chosing what books to take on a trip than what clothes to pack, something many romance readers can certainly identify with! THE DOCUMENT also will appeal to readers who share an interest in family history and/or adoption search. This is an outstanding series with a wide appeal. Thank you, Ms. Roper!

Utterly charming!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Document (The Amish Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)
Gayle Roper is a master of witty dialogue. The repartee between the feisty Cara Bentley and her attorney, Todd Reasoner, is electric and utterly charming. Can't wait to read the other books in Roper's series set in Amish country.
