It had been
fifteen years since Lainey O’Toole lived in Stoney Ridge, a small Amish
community. Now all these years later her
car breaks down in that very same town.
She had no plans whatsoever to stay as she was only passing through on
her way to culinary school but when the local mechanic informed her that her
car was unrepairable, she had no choice but to stay for at least a short period
of time.
That very same
day, the local bakery had posted a help wanted sign and Lainey took the
job. The owner had a sister who even had
a room to rent right across the street from the bakery. Lainey was all set up in one day. Now she just had to work long enough to save
up for a new car so she could continue her journey. However, that’s not how things worked out for
Lainey at all. She was forced to face
her past and discover how her decisions had affected so many other people.
Bess Reihl is
spending the summer with her grandmother, Bertha at Rose Hill Farm in Stoney
Ridge. Bess isn’t at all happy at the
prospect of being there as Bertha is a domineering, out-spoken, and impulsive
woman with a knack for drawing attention to herself and to Beth once she
arrived in town.
However, it isn’t
very long before Bess realizes there is a specific reason her grandmother
summoned her to Rose Hill for the summer.
Initially she’d told Bess’s father, Jonah that she’d had “female surgery”
and required Bess’s assistance but in fact she’d only had a tooth pulled. Bertha knew her son, Jonah well enough to
know that he wouldn’t allow his daughter to spend the entire summer over a
pulled tooth.
Lainey and Bess
will soon meet and their worlds will be rocked to the core! The secrets that come to light will shock
them both.
The Search was as easy, quick, pleasant
read with a good storyline and strong characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and would
recommend it to anyone who enjoyed stories about the Amish or Christian
fiction.
