I loved this book, Mary Ellis knows how to write a good story,keeping you in suspense until the end.from back of book:A tragedy, a refusal, a shunning.Amy King young, engaged and Amish, faces life after a challenge when she loses both parents. Her Finance John Detweiler persuades her to leave Lancaster county to Harmony Maine. A new Amish community with few people in their district, with different rules than Lancaster had, Amys younger sister Nora a rebel gives them a lot of trouble but all turns out well in the endLooking forward to the next one. Living in Harmony is the first book in the New Beginnings series by Mary Ellis. Amy King faces difficult chanlangers in her life when she suddenly loses both of her parents in a house fire. Her fiance John, persuades her and her sister Nora to leave Lancaster county and make a new beginning with him in Harmony, Maine. John's Brother Thomas and sister in law Sally readily open their home to the three newcomers. Thomas, a minister in the district, refuses to marry Amy and John upon their arrival, suggesting instead a period of adjustment and counceling. During this time Amy discovers an aunt who was shunned. She wishes to reconnect with her, but this puts a strain on her relationship with John.The book was Ok. It wasn't one of my favorite Amish novels. I kinda lost interest in it about mid way through and forced myself to finish it.
What do You think about Living In Harmony (2012)?
A refreshing change from other books. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!
