Rose turned her back on the man she loves after he assisted the Englisch during World War II---only to discover she's an Englischer herself. Born in the midst of the hardships of The Great Depression, Rose grew up in Berlin, Ohio, in the arms of a loving Amish family. But she is overwhelmed by self-doubt when she learns that she was born Englisch and abandoned when her family moved West in search of work. Was she meant to be Amish or would she have been better off growing up with her own kind---Englischers? When the man she loves leaves her behind, Rose is certain he left for good. Yet Rose discovers sometimes our greatest gifts are the ones we fear.

My Thoughts:
Rose was certain that when her intended left to join the military he would not return. She had assumed he had left not only her but the Amish community. She just knew he had turned away from the Amish beliefs. When he did return she did not want to see him because he had done the unforgivable by choosing to live among the Englisch.
When she uncovers a secret about her past she fears her own place in the Amish community may b e under scrutiny.
The cover image drew me in and once I opened the book I did not want to put it down. The author held my attention with the suspense and heartache of so many that surrounded Rose. The love of her family was far stronger that she gave them credit. Her beau loved her deeply and was so patient with her many doubts and fears of her future. Loved the book from beginning to end.
I highly recommend this book.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
