In this unique mystery debut, a shallow grave is found on a
Pennsylvania farm, and one woman straddling the Amish and
outside worlds must uncover a killer--and create a life on
her own terms. . .
Fifteen years after leaving her
Old Order Amish life, Rachel Mast has returned to Stone
Mill, Pennsylvania. Corporate success didn't bring true
happiness, but Rachel also knows she can never be Amish
again. Instead she runs a B&B and tries to help her
community in ways they can't help themselves.
But
now a gruesome discovery has been made on her Uncle Aaron's
cow pasture--the body of prominent Englisher businessman
Willy O'Day. Aaron refuses to hire a lawyer, trusting his
innocence, and his faith, to see him through. Rachel isn't
so sure, especially given the long public feud between the
two men. Her relatives won't speak to the police, but they
will talk to Rachel--if she puts on a skirt and bonnet.
Rachel knows emotions and entanglements run as complicated
in the Amish world as outside it. But as she delves deeper
to clear Aaron's name, she discovers secrets that put her
own life in danger. . .
