"His Guilt"
by Shelley Shepard Gray
by Shelley Shepard Gray
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray delivers the next novel in her Amish of Hart County series—a suspenseful tale of an Amish man who will risk all to protect the woman he loves.
Mark Fisher has returned home to Hart County, determined to put the past behind him. Two years ago, after being wrongly accused of assault, he left the Amish community, though never forgot his home. When the one person who had helped him through his rough times asks for help, Mark returns. But it is pretty Waneta Cain who makes him want to stay...
Neeta is one of the few people in Hart County who doesn’t believe Mark is guilty of hurting anyone. However, his worldliness and tough exterior do make her uneasy. As she begins to see the real man behind all the gossip and prejudice, she wonders if he is the man for her.
Just when Mark starts to believe a new life is possible, a close friend of Neeta’s is attacked. Once again, everyone in the community seems to believe he is guilty. But what hurts most is Neeta’s sudden wariness around him. When another woman is hurt, a woman who is close to both Neeta and himself, Mark fears he knows the real culprit. And time is running out. Will Mark be able to find him before Neeta becomes his next victim?

Mark Gray has returned to his Amish community determined to put his past behind him. Having left two years ago after being accused of attacking a young lady, he wants to prove that he didn't do it. But will his fellow Amish let him forget? Why can't they forgive like the Bible tells them to do? Maybe this was a mistake. But pretty Waneta Cain believes in him, even when the attacks have started up again ever since Mark came back. Can they find out who the real attacker is, before the attacker hits too close to home? Will the community give Mark a second chance?
I usually enjoy Ms. Gray's books but this I didn't much care for because of the topic covered. Also, the book stated that Mark's and Calvin's parents used alcohol and drugs, I am sure that some of the Amish do this even though they have joined the church, we have the same problem with English church members, I just had never read a book that stated this before. I did appreciate the fact that the book brought out the need for forgiveness of others and yourself.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Litfuse Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
