cover:
Sarah Kauffman sought permission from her church elders to paint murals on a few of the Amish community's barns. Each was designed like an old-fashioned quilt square, representing a piece of the Amish traditions Sarah loved. The works of art were intended to draw more tourists to Home Valley in the struggling economy. But instead, they invited a menace. One by one, each barn is set ablaze and destroyed...
The arson fires spread fear through the community - amongst Amish and Englischers alike. Arson investigator Nate MacKenzie, an outsider, struggles to investigate the crime scenes while adhering to Amish ways. As the fires rage, beliefs are challenged, a way of life is questioned and family secrets are exposed. Now Sarah wonders if she's being punished for her pridefulness... or whether there's a more malevolent will at work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this was a nice enough story, but I can't imagine why I had it on my wishlist - I must have read some extremely good reviews. I found nothing particularly special about it; it's just a standard Harper, slightly suspenseful romance. Easy reading, but nothing outstanding.
