In book two of Amish fiction author Jerry S. Eicher’s new Emma Raber’s Daughter series, Katie Raber’s journey of discovery continues after her mamm’s marriage to Jesse Mast. Drawn back from the Mennonite world briefly by the miracle of Mamm’s changed heart, Katie finds she can’t totally abandon her new Mennonite friends.
Jesse’s oldest daughter, Mabel, refuses to accept Katie, creating conflict at home. Ben Yoder, the most popular boy in the community, also begins to attend the Mennonite youth gatherings in his attempt to run away from personal problems.
Overjoyed at the attention Ben pays her, Katie pursues the
relationship willingly. When an opportunity comes to travel with
her Mennonite friends to Europe to explore the roots of the faith,
Katie can’t believe how much she is being blessed. Especially after
a secret donor pays for the trip.
While in Europe, Katie learns the truth about Ben when he is
arrested. As her world comes crashing down, she finds healing in
her visit to the Alps and the land where her forefathers suffered
so much. She returns home determined to mend the bad feelings with
Jesse’s daughter, Mabel, and to continue on the path to healing
without Ben.

“What a fantastic read! Jerry shows his talent at character
description vividly in this book! The plot was full of intertwining
plots that had unexpected turns as often as I turned the pages.
Jerry also has the talent of portraying the Amish lifestyle
accurately. That is something I look for in an Amish fiction
book.”
