Andrea Wilson is in an abusive marriage, trying to care for the couple's young son. When her husband goes missing out at sea and is presumed dead, she returns to Iowa where her father had a farm, hoping to build a new life. But she finds that farm burned and her father is no longer alive.
Now she must turn to the hospitality of complete strangers in the Amana village. They welcome her and Lukas into their community, but when a shocking discovery is made, how will she be able to settle down and feel at peace?
I found this book to be more enjoyable than I anticipated. Having read the first book in the Home to Amana series, I expected a similar read. This, however, exceeded those expectations. The characters were more genuine, and it was easy to feel what each character felt. The perspective from which each chapter is told changes, giving greater insight into the characters' thoughts.
