Mennonite Romantic Suspense Sure to Thrill Readers
Gentle and unassuming Hope Kauffman has never been one to question
or try to make changes. She quietly helps her father run Kingdom
Quilts and has agreed to the betrothal her father arranged for her
with the devout but shy Ebbie Miller.
Despite Hope's and other Kingdom residents' attempts to maintain
the status quo, changes have already begun to stir in the small
Mennonite town. The handsome and charismatic Jonathon Wiese is the
leader of the move to reform, and when one of Kingdom's own is
threatened by a mysterious outsider, Jonathon is one of the first
to push for the town to arm itself. Hope's fiance, Ebbie, is at the
forefront of those demanding the town stay true to its traditions
of nonviolence.
When strange incidents around town result in outright attacks on
several townspeople, Hope can't help but question what she's always
been taught. As the town that's always stood so strong together is
torn apart at the seams, Hope is caught between opposing sides,
both represented by those she has come to care for. With tensions
high and lives endangered by an unknown threat, Hope fears Kingdom
can never survive in one piece.

guys. Its characters are well written and thought out. Mehl brings
the Mennonite ways to life and shows us that sometimes we need to
take a stand and let our voices be heard."--RT Book
Reviews
"Like the preceding series title, Inescapable, this tale of
suspense offers a colorful cast of characters, small-town drama,
and a hint of romance."--Library
Journal
"Mehl's take on the middle road that
Mennonites choose to walk is both engaging and informative. She is
able to respectfully portray a struggle foreign to most readers
while at the same time providing that romantic drama readers of her
prior fiction know and love."--Booklist
