Perfect start to Amish trilogy: love, mystery & challenges
Lancaster County, with its rolling meadows and secret
byways, may seem idyllic, but it is not without its thorns.
THE ROSE TRILOGY is the stirring saga of two Amish sisters
on the fringes of the church, and the unforeseen discoveries
that change their lives. Rose Kauffman, a spirited young woman, has a close
friendship with the bishop's foster son. Nick dresses Plain
and works hard but stirs up plenty of trouble too. Rose's
sister cautions her against becoming too involved, but Rose
is being courted by a good, Amish fellow, so dismisses the
warnings. Meanwhile, Rose keeps house for an English widower
but is startled when he forbids her to ever go upstairs.
What is the man hiding? Rose's older sister, Hen, knows more than she should about
falling for the wrong man. Unable to abandon her Amish ways,
Hen is soon separated from her very modern husband. Mattie,
their young daughter, must visit her father regularly, but
Hen demands she wear Amish attire--and speak Pennsylvania
Dutch, despite her husband's wishes. Will Hen be able to
reestablish her place among the People she abandoned? And
will she be able to convince Rose to steer clear of rogue
neighbor Nick?
