little to Luke as he tries to solve this crime, he knows

Seeking to get away from the bleakness of her home and to

could be found, except at Schrock's Variety Store. Jacob's
parents run the store and when they were young, Perry and
Jacob had been the best of friends. But now, is it
possible...is he really the prime suspect in the murder
investigation? What has happened?
Meanwhile, life goes on. Frannie, the owner of the Bed and
Breakfast, and Luke are now as sweet on each other as

famous desserts. One of Perry's Englischer friends, Walker
Anderson, is now going out with Lydia, an Amish girl and
Perry's former girlfriend, after they had re-connected with
each other during the investigation. They have their own
tough decisions to make as Amish women can only be married
to others of their own faith or they will be shunned.
What will they do?
