Publisher's summary

On the day before her Amish parents' 20th wedding anniversary, Sylvia Miller stumbles across the key to the old brass tinderbox her father keeps in his Lancaster County watch repair shop. Piqued by curiosity, Sylvia unlocks the cherished heirloom, not realizing that what she is about to discover will splinter apart her happy life.

Once Sylvia overcomes her shock, she confronts her father about the contents of the box. To her amazement, the respected convert to the Old Order admits that he is not fit to be a member of the Hickory Hollow Amish church - in fact, he never was.

Burdened by the weight of his deception, Earnest Miller reveals the details about his past to Sylvia - and to his wife, Rhoda. The long-kept secret alters everything for the close-knit family, and when word of Earnest's deceit reaches others in the community, the truth pits Amish neighbors against one another and threatens to dry up Earnest's livelihood - as well as to break up Sylvia's engagement to the preacher's grandson.

Can the Millers find a way forward through the turmoil to a place of forgiveness and acceptance?

Tinderbox

I enjoyed this story. The narrator was easy to listen to and follow along. curiosity although part of human nature can really influence many events and. people.
I did not understand the big deal made about Earnest"s marriage/divorce.
This was the proverbial Pandora's box and its consequences. 18 yr old Sylvia Miller, because of her curiosity and disobedience, opened up a past t(her father's) that should of been forgotten--or should it. There are lots of surprises although for Englishers it is not troublesome. There needed to be and was a good deal of forgiveness and each taking on the responsibility of of their own actions.

fully enjoyed!

It helps us k ow that through the twists & turns of life, God & family are ever present. thank you for another great audio book

Odd Ending

I guess I was a little let down with the hanging feeling in the end. The end left too many questions. But overall the story and the narration was great.
