As Lizzie becomes reacquainted with Kingdom, she realizes she may not have left her Mennonite roots and her faith as firmly in the past as she thought. She draws on the support of Noah Housler, an old friend, as she hides out and attempts to plan her next steps. When it becomes painfully clear that the danger has followed Lizzie to Kingdom, suspicions and tensions run high, and she no longer knows who to trust. With her life and the lives of those she loves at risk, Lizzie will have to run one last time--to a Father whose love is inescapable.
My Thoughts:
I think I found another new favorite author! I really enjoyed this book. The characters have depth and interest and are great to get to know. I was worried I wouldn't like it because I'm not a huge fan of the "Amish" genre, but that aspect (The Mennonite life) is part of the storyline in a way that lends to it but is not predictable. I was pleasantly surprised to see Lizzie's return home was more welcome by her community than not. I loved the added suspense of trying to figure out who was stalking her and why. I hope that these characters will appear somewhat in the rest of the series as well!
