Nurse-midwife Lexie Jaeger's, who was adopted encounters a burning desire to meet her biological family. Propelled on a personal journey of discovery, Lexie's search for the truth takes her from her home in Oregon to the heart of Pennsylvania's Amish country.
There she finds Marta Bayer, a mysterious lay-midwife who may hold the key to Lexie's past. But Marta isn't talking, especially now that she has troubles of her own following the death of an Amish patient during childbirth. As Lexie steps in to assume Marta's patient load and continues the search for her birth family, a handsome local doctor proves to be a welcome distraction.
Note from Suzanne: I found this book extremely interesting. I didn't know anything about the Amish, so this gave interesting insights to their lifestyle and beliefs. At the same time it was a very interesting story that is a mystery with clues that you are constantly trying to fit together. I loved it. I hope everyone enjoys it.

ReplyDeleteSo I was way late getting this book. I finally started the book last week and finished the book yesterday. I really enjoyed this book. It is an easy read and very informational about the Amish and Mennonits, which I didn't even know anything about. If you are behind I still suggest reading this book!
ReplyDeleteI finished this book a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the story but at times felt like it was slow. More than anything it made me wish that I was born Amish. Call me crazy but there are a lot of things about their lifestyle that is really appealing to me. Another thing I have found interesting is now that I read this book I keep seeing books usually fictional about the Amish. I think it is a new trend. I was very glad in the end of the book that she went with her original guy. During the whole book I was like, are you crazy forget about your doctor and remember your main man! Well it was a fun book to read. -Krista
