After losing out on the big career opportunity she was hoping for, she decides to escape to Oregon Amish country, seeking solace and maybe a big story.

Even in this land of buggies and bonnets, Jayne finds life more complicated than she expected. Can she persuade herself that her growing friendship with the mysterious and handsome Levi Burkholder is just about research?

READING ROOM REVIEW

What a wonderful new take on the Amish lifestyle! I'm not big fan of Amish novels, though many of my staff reviewers are, but I thought I'd give this one a shot. I'm so glad I did. It was an intriguing book with a good message. I found my self laughing out loud at some of Jaynes antics! An extremely fun read.
