I’m not sure where I picked this book up from but I think it might have been from our used book store when it was closing. I expected to learn more about the Amish way of life through the book but there wasn’t much detail in it that I didn’t already know. What was interesting though was seeing how the Amish were fitting into the wider community outside of their own compounds.

Rachel has begun work as a housekeeper in a mansion where her mother previously worked. Rachel gave up on her wedding to Jacob when her mother died and her father convinced her it was her duty to remain at home to take care of him and her brothers. When her father remarries Rachel is expected to move out of her family home. The mansion has become home to her but Jacob has also been hired to do some general labour around the house. The ending is quite predictable.
