Publisher's Summary
Love alone isn’t enough to overcome some obstacles.
Lena Kauffman is a young Old Order Amish schoolteacher who has dealt all her life with attention raised by a noticeable birthmark on her cheek. Having learned to move past the stares and whispers, Lena channels her zest for living into her love of teaching. But tensions mount as she is challenged to work with a rebellious young man and deal with several crises at the schoolhouse that threaten her other students. Her lack of submission and use of ideas that don’t line up with the Old Ways strengthen the school board’s case as they begin to believe that Lena is behind all the trouble.
One member of the school board, Grey Graber, feels trapped by his own stifling circumstances. His wife, Elsie, has shut him out of her life, and he doesn’t know how long he can continue to live as if nothing is wrong. As the two finally come to a place of working toward a better marriage, tragedy befalls their family.
Lena and Grey have been life-long friends, but their relationship begins to crumble amidst unsettling deceptions, propelling each of them to finally face their own secrets. Can they both find a way past their losses and discover the strength to build a new bridge?

"Another good Cindy Woodsmall"
I was pleasantly surprised to find another installment of an Amish set story by the author. I'd really enjoyed every book of hers I'd listened to. Her other books seemed to start off with a bang and build from there. This was started a bit slower but finished with a big bang. But the essence of her stories stays true. She has good insight into human nature and communicates it well. She weaves a nice story into an Amish setting and educates us on the Amish lifestyle as well. We learn that the Amish have hopes and dreams just like the rest of us. They are real people, aren't they? I'll look forward to her next book. I assume it'll be the third in the Ada's House series.

"Suspenseful"
I really enjoy Cindy Woodsmall because her faith-based stories capture how various personalities are structured and why people do the things that they do. She is very talented and her stories flow beautifully. They remind that certain human elements do reside in all societies. A couple of spots in this book did lean just a smidgeon toward the graphic, and I wasn't sure that I would make it to the end because I am not entertained by violence. But I got to the end, and I can't wait for the next Aida's House book.
