When a letter arrives from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Angela and Rose decide to visit Aunt Silvia, their mother's Mennonite sister, in the heart of Amish country. This vacation could provide the opportunity both sisters need to sort out their issues. And yet instead of finding a new way of connecting with each other, Angela and Rose discover surprising family secrets that add to their strife and threaten Rose's romance with a new beau.
Through it all, the two sisters must find the faith necessary to face their personal problems and allow God to restore hope and healing to their hearts and relationship as only He can.
*****************************************************************************
This is the first book in the Lancaster Discoveries Series. This is the story of four sisters who didn't get along with each other. Two sisters don't have a chance of making amends. Will Rose and Angela use the example of their mother and Aunt Sylvia not being on speaking terms when their passed away to use this opportunity to straighten out their relationship? Angela is a married English woman who is struggling in her life. Even though she has a successful lawyer husband, two children and anything she wants, she still isn't happy, especially since she has lost her mother. Her younger sister Rose is not married, but has her own business and wants to be more like her older sister. The two sisters have a strained relationship, just like their mother and her sister Sylvia do. But when Aunt Sylvia writes them to come to Amish Country to visit her, they agree. Hopefully to reconcile their differences. But there are family secrets that are uncovered that makes the girls wonder if they really knew their Mother at all. And why does Aunt Sylvia act so strangely?
This book shows what can happen between a struggling relationship when it is not resolved. I found that the way she switched back and forth between sisters a little confusing. Not your typical book that you would expect with the title Lancaster County. Lancaster Pennsylvania is beautiful countryside and also very peaceful with both Amish and Mennonite residing there as well as English.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Litfuse Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
