Complicated by the arrival of his malevolent cousin, the couple is able to finally overcome Jacob's past and Eva's present shunning to marry and rejoin their family and prosper.
This was a very good book that brought me to further appreciate the Amish traditions and customs. I t had relevance to things in the world and even encouraged me to think about the value of family and my own prayer life.
Not your typical Amish fiction, but really a murder mystery. Portrays the Amish people as very self-righteous, jumping to conclusions, very judgmental, and not willing to allow law-enforcement to do their job.
