Four siblings have pretty much raised themselves following their parents’ divorce, when they decide to return to their grandparents community and become Amish. One brother and one sister move in with the grandparents and begin their journey. Difficulties arise due to cultural differences, and romance also enters the picture. And the sibling are forced to examine their motives. The story ends rather abruptly, indicating a sequel that forthcoming..

Shelley Shepard Gray has so many series out, she just keeps turning them out. This is a good thing though. I haven’t read a book of hers I didn’t like or couldn’t relate to. She’s one of my favorite go to Amish writing authors. I’m not sure how many books will be in this series, but this is the start of the newest series publishing June 2024.


4 siblings are looking for their anchor in life. They have been raised by a former Amish father and Englisher mother. They have a close bond and the older have always looked out for the younger.
These siblings haven’t had the best of upbringings and feel peace of mind when they visit their Old-Order grandparents in Ohio.


Will they find the serene happiness they are seeking when they all decide to move to their grandparent’s house and want to embrace their lifestyle and become Amish? Will this give them what they have been missing out on in life? Life never seems to go as we plan though, and curveballs can be expected at the most unexpected times. All their circumstances are different but yet the same in many ways. I enjoyed all the characters but wasn’t sure about the decisions they would make.


I have read this author’s books for many years and always enjoy them. This one ended on a cliff-hanger so I’m sure it’ll take us right into the next in the series.
