When best friends, Mary Shrock and Rachel Troyer, are interviewed by an Englisch couple about their Amish lifestyle, will the simple truth put both girls, and their Amish community, in mortal peril?

When best friends, Mary Shrock and Rachel Troyer, are approached in the Amish market by an Englisch couple who are interested in interviewing them for an "educational" article, something seems off. And the girls find their fears well founded as the strangers embark on writing an inflammatory expose. But when one of the Englischers tries to take things beyond words, Rachel, Mary, and their entire Amish community is put in deep peril. How will this Amish community face a threat that tests their faith, family, and most of all, their innocent children?

Reviews

It was not well written at all. It was written on a middle school level, not for adults, the vocabulary was juvenile. There was no character development, no scene settings. And the story was very unrealistic.

I liked how the author put some key information in on the Amish. I also enjoyed the story but thought it went by to quickly..:)

Not my favorite book. It wasn't written well and just was bored. I read it all the way through, but couldn't wait to finish it. Sorry, needed an editor's eye to finetune it.

If one makes a sequel to a book then it seems to me that the facts should match the first book. Just a suggestion.
