Amish of Hart County His Guilt, (Hardcover)

This is the second book in the Amish of Hart County series, and just like the first book, this one is JUST as amazing. I love how Shelley crafts raw and real situations. This book had me keep turning the pages. The story is refreshing to know that even though the Amish live separate from us, sometimes we can't outrun our past. God is always there. I loved the twists and turns through out this book. This can be read as a standalone - but I highly recommend reading in order. They are BOTH really good. I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author --- all opinions are my own.

This Amish Community makes me think that people are judged by the acts of their parents, and no matter how many years go by, no one seems to forget or accept. At least until the author introduces us to a preacher to lives his faith and encourages Mark Fisher to return to his roots and take over the empty home that has been left to him. Surprisingly Mark has stayed steady in his Amish faith, but that doesn't mean that the congregation here will forgive and forget. We are also introduced to another young woman, she has not stayed Amish, but has tried to return to her hometown, and will she succeed or finally leave. Neeta soon discovers Mark working at the green house she works in, but she gives him the same cold shoulder the rest of the community does. The author will have you questioning whether Mark is a good guy, or is it his wayward brother, or who, as someone is attacking and almost killing young Amish women, and it doesn't help that Mark was questioned a long time ago about an attack. Will this community ever come together and live up to their faith, you will be surprised how things turn out, and it keeps surprising right up to the last page. I received this book through Lit Fuse Publicity Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.
