Twenty-year-old Ariana Brenneman loves her family and the Old Ways. She has two aspirations: open a café in historic Summer Grove to help support her family’s ever-expanding brood and to keep any other Amish from being lured into the Englisch life by Quill Schlabach.
Five years ago Quill, along with her dear friend Frieda, ran off together, and Ariana still carries the wounds of that betrayal. When she unexpectedly encounters him, she soon realizes he has plans to help someone else she loves leave the Amish.

Despite how things look, Quill’s goal has always been to protect Ariana from anything that may hurt her, including the reasons he left. After returning to Summer Grove on another matter, he unearths secrets about Ariana and her family that she is unaware of. His love and loyalty to her beckons him to try to win her trust and help her find a way to buy the café—because when she learns the truth that connects her and a stranger named Skylar Nash, Quill knows it may upend her life forever.
I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting and mysterious. I like that it is different than other Amish series that I have read. It focused more on a girl's personal struggle to make something for herself and her family so that her family will stay together in the Amish faith. It also showed her parent's struggle by keeping a mysterious secret from the daughter that they love a lot. This was a quick read that kept me wanting to stay up late at night. It is a real page turner.
I received this book for review from Blogging for Books.
