About This Book

Love alone isn’t enough to overcome some obstacles.

Lena Kauffman is a young Old Order Amish schoolteacher who has dealt all her life with attention raised by a noticeable birthmark on her cheek. Having learned to move past the stares and whispers, Lena channels her zest for living into her love of teaching. But tensions mount as she is challenged to work with a rebellious young man and deal with several crises at the schoolhouse that threaten her other students. Her lack of submission and use of ideas that don’t line up with the Old Ways strengthen the school board’s case as they begin to believe that Lena is behind all the trouble.

One member of the school board, Grey Graber, feels trapped by his own stifling circumstances. His wife, Elsie, has shut him out of her life, and he doesn’t know how long he can continue to live as if nothing is wrong. As the two finally come to a place of working toward a better marriage, tragedy befalls their family.

Lena and Grey have been life-long friends, but their relationship begins to crumble amidst unsettling deceptions, propelling each of them to finally face their own secrets. Can they both find a way past their losses and discover the strength to build a new bridge?

My Review:

I loved this book! If you enjoy Amish Fiction like I do, this is the book for you. Beverly Lewis is my favorite Amish Fiction writer and this author rates right up there with her.
The book is filled with suspense as it touches on relationships, alcoholism, mental illness, marital difficulties, and insecurities one feels as the result of one's physical appearance.
This is a great read for anyone.Once you start reading the book it will be hard to put down. I highly recommend "The Bridge of Peace," by Cindy Woodsmall.
