In this first book of a three-book series, author Vannetta Chapman brings a fresh twist to the popular Amish fiction genre. She blends the familiar components consumers love in Amish books - faith, community, simplicity, family - with an innovative who-done-it plot that keeps readers guessing right up to the last stitch in the quilt. When two women - one Amish, one English - each with different motives, join forces to organize a successful on-line quilt auction, neither expects nor wants a friendship.

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.

Publisher's Summary

With so much to do between running her shop and spending time with her new boyfriend, it's amazing Angie is able to help organize the Rolling Brook library's annual book sale. Luckily she's working alongside brash librarian Austina Shaker, a lady who isn't afraid to make waves to get books to her patrons - even the Amish. Unfortunately this draws the ire of cranky Bartholomew Belier, an Old Order Amish bishop who publicly vows to ruin Austina. And she certainly might be ruined after Belier is found dead in her bookmobile. Now Angie must employ the help of her loyal quilting circle - as well as her beloved French bulldog, Oliver - if she hopes to prove Austina's innocence before the real killer books it....

Entertaining

This is an entertaining series that does a very good job of interweaving Amish and American ideas. The plot and most of the characters are realistic. The action is fast paced and I never feel the story line lag. The only character that I have a problem with is Angie, the lead character. Angie is immature and makes silly mistakes. However, the supporting characters save the story. I look forward to the next book.

Murder Plainly Read

I liked the book very much. I love that Oliver is included in the story, since I am a dog lover it just makes me like the book more. I highly recommend the book. It is clean with no bad language and no sexual content.
