3.0 out of 5 stars Another winner by Beverly Lewis, December 5, 1999

By A Customer

I enjoyed this book, but it took me awhile to get into it. It doesn't have the interest level of her Heritage trilogy, but it is interesting and I am sure in the next books to come that more mystery will be unraveled and questions answered. Basically, I felt this was more of an introduction to the series and I can't wait to read the next book to find out what happens with Rachel and Phillip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally incredible!, February 27, 2005

By	PianoPlayer8816 (WA USA) - See all my reviews

I got this book because I'd read a few of Beverly Lewis' books and enjoyed them. I was not disappointed!

This story begins with a tragedy- and the main character is trying to cope with it. Then suddenly, a stranger steps into their life and starts uncovering a dark family secret.
Meet Rachel, who was widowed at an early age because of a driving accident.
Meet her daughter Annie, a rambunctious, talkative 6-year-old girl who always manages to say the wrong thing at the wrong time!
Meet Susanna, Rachel's overprotective mother. She's determined to have Rachel find her "hidden gift" and will go to any length to accomplish that.
And finally, meet Philip. He's a writer for a magazine, and he's on a mission. But he never dreamed that he'd be on this mission!

A tale of suspense and mystery that is worth reading! Can't wait to read the sequel!

3.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Amish Novel by Lewis, November 22, 2003

By	Charlotte "gotshakespeare" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews

In this book, Beverly Lewis brings you back into the culture of Amish society with redemption/healing story with a bit of intrigue. About an Amishwoman who loses both husband and son in a buggy accident, leaving her with her little daughter and the loss of her sight. The stranger who comes to stay in her parent's B&B befriends her and helps her. He discovers a old postcard lodged in a small drawer of his rolltop antique desk in his room at the B&B. The postcard brings strange reactions from the owners of the Amish Bed and Breakfast owners, urging him on a trail after the history of the postcard. Another great book set in the heart of Pennsylvanian Amish Country. Be sure to check out the sequel to this book, "The Cross Roads".
