Mary Ellis is one of my favorite Amish fiction authors. A lot of her Amish stories are set in the Midwest and the characters are well developed and fewer in number. When I start a book by her, I want to keep reading until the end and I am sad when it is getting ready to end.

Megan Yost is in size,

the youngest in a family, her character reminded my mother who was also the smallest and often called the runt in the family. Her ambition was to become a school teacher and be the best that she could be. Her curiosity sometime got her into trouble and her goal of being of a teacher disappointed her best friend and suitor. He wanted to marry and have children soon.

A rash of hate crimes against the Amish came to the attention of Megan' s father who was also a bishop and unlike the custom of Amish working out the problem in the community, he contacted the local sheriff and then felt very uncomfortable with his decision. The sheriff in turn contacted the FBI. Then we are introduced Agent Thomas Mast who has an interesting background and feels more at home in the country and with nature and a lot of city folks.

I highly recommend this book! My family experienced hate crimes on a smaller scale than the Amish in this story and I liked the way that sheriff handled in this book much better than what we experienced in real life.
