In the summer of 1951, 18-year-old Maggie Esh is in need of some hope. Sweet-spirited and uncommonly pretty despite struggling with a debilitating illness, she is accustomed to being treated kindly by the young men of her Old Order Amish church district. Yet no one but Jimmy Beiler ever asks her out, and she always declines, certain he only pities her. To make matters worse, Dat has recently remarried, less than a year after Maggie's mother died. And while her stepmother is kind, she's much younger than Mamm, and she simply doesn't understand Maggie or her illness the way Mamm did.

Michelle Taylor is not who her new family in Lancaster County believes her to be. The Lapps were looking for their long-lost granddaughter when they met Michelle, and she assumed the identity of Sara Murray. Once homeless and hopeless, Michelle has come to love her new Amish friends and even considers the idea of romance among them. Finding an old blue jar in the barn that is filled with slips of paper containing thoughts, quotes, and prayers by an unknown author becomes a boost to Michelle’s budding faith.

In the Amish town of Sugarcreek, love comes in many forms. But will it come at all for Miriam? Miriam Zehr has worked at the Sugarcreek Inn longer than she cares to admit. The restaurant is a favorite of town residents as well as the many tourists who come to taste the famous Amish fare. Though she always tries to have a smile for every customer, deep down Miriam knows something's missing: a family of her own. Miriam has never felt particularly beautiful, especially because she's always been a bit heavier than other girls her age.

Publisher's Summary

When Anna decides it’s time to leave her abusive boyfriend, she doesn’t know where to turn. Rob has completely won over her parents, and the entire community, with his good looks and smooth charm. Only Anna has seen his dark side.

Desperate, she runs to the only place she’s ever felt completely safe: the Amish Brenneman Bed and Breakfast, where Anna met lifelong friend Katie Brenneman. The family welcomes her in, and with few questions asked allows her to stay, dressed in Plain clothing, and help around the inn.

Katie’s older brother, Henry, is the only one who doesn’t take too kindly to the intrusion. He tries to ignore Anna, knowing no good would ever come from caring for an Englisher like her. But as he gets to know Anna, he discovers her good heart and is surprised with her readiness to accept their lifestyle.

The more time Anna spends with the Amish, the more she feels she’s found a true home. But how can she deny the life she left behind? And will her chance for happiness be stolen away by the man from her past?

Shelly Shepard Gray is the author of the Seasons of Sugarcreek series: Winter’s Awakening, Spring’s Renewal, and Autumn’s Promise. She lives with her family in southern Ohio, where she writes full-time.

Very Exciting and Insteresting!

Would you listen to Hidden again? Why?

i would listen because of all the action going on, because of the unpredicted events that come in the story!

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the plot of the story and how there was communication between Amish and the Englishers

Have you listened to any of Kirsten Potter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time listening

Who was the most memorable character of Hidden and why?

My favorite character was Anna because I liked how she was struggling with her past and how she managed to cope with and how she came up with all the solutions. I liked how seeking God was her first step in everything.

Predictable but enjoyable none the less

Would you try another book from Shelley Shepard Gray and/or Kirsten Potter?

Maybe

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes,

Any additional comments?

Predictable, a bit slow, but i finished it and parts were sweet and enjoyable. The Amish life style is always fascinating.
