A Robin's Snow

by Barbara Briggs Ward

While curious of the world outside her Amish community, Annie Finley's love for her husband, Daniel, and their son, Jacob, is why she's content to stay. A devastating accident one stormy night changes that, propelling Annie beyond those boundaries. With the help of two women who sell Annie's quilts, she learns those responsible for the accident are ruthless owners of a newspaper dynasty who'll do anything to keep the presses running. A plan is devised enabling Annie to shed her simplicity and travel to Philadelphia where she infiltrates that dynasty, moving amongst them as one of them until the moment when she must make her move—a move with grave consequences reaching all the way to the White House in a fight over the Second Amendment.

About the author

I am a writer living in Ogdensburg, NY. I am author of "The Reindeer Keeper", released October, 2010 and selected by both Yahoo's Christmas Book Club and Yonkers, NY Riverfront Library Book Club as their December 2012 featured Book of the Month. Because of the positive feedback from readers, I followed with the release of "The Snowman Maker" in 2013 and in October, 2015, "The Candle Giver." The three Christmas-themed books stand on their own yet there is a thread connecting them-making them a heartwarming Christmas trilogy.
I have been published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul book-'Christmas Magic'; the Chicken Soup for the Soul book, 'Family Caregivers'; Ladies' Home Journal, Highlights for Children; The Crafts Report; and The Saturday Evening Post online. In June, 2017 I released an Amish mystery titled, "A Robin's Snow" available online in paperback, Kindle and Nook.

Reviews

[Tammy Becker · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought the writing was good, but I thought that the Amish wife Annie Finley's story line was a bit far fetched for the Amish life style. I just found it hard to believe an Amish woman blending into the Englisher's way of living like she always was an Englisher especially dealing with a corrupt publishing newspaper family in Philadelphia. The book was a good page turner but just a bit far fetched!

An Amish woman has a horrible accident happen to her and her family. Annie's local police refuse to investigate the accident, so she takes it upon herself to get the answers she seeks. With help from two women who sell her quilts, Annie travels to Philadelphia to investigate the people behind the accident.
