Publisher's summary

Sixteen-year-old Faith has worked full-time in her parents' restaurant since she finished eighth grade. She loves her Amish community - and the romantic attentions of her longtime friend, Gideon. When her sister seems to be getting too friendly with Englischers, and her parents are in a buggy accident, Faith wants to escape into her dream of joining the church and getting married.

But then a local newspaper runs a story about a child named Adriana who was kidnapped 15 years earlier, and everything Faith has held true comes into question. Suddenly the community Faith has known her whole life seems unreal. Can she even trust her own family? And how will she ever find home again if she no longer belongs in the world she knows best?

Surprising good

I believed it would not be a book l would like, I mostly listen to western, jack reacher, and science fiction. It held the suspense most of the book and Callie beau lieu did an excellent job with the different dialects the people from Pennsylvania have. I will listen to more of this narrator and author.

Good story

The story line is good... However, the narrator is a little mechanical in her reading. It would have been nice to know what happened to the kidnappers.

New author to me and I loved her!

This was a new author to me and I really enjoyed her! The story was great and very entertaining. I am glad that this is a series and looking forward to book 2! I appreciate the wholesomeness along with the modern spin.
