In the second book of this series "Lancaster County Secrets" Suzanne once again write a great story about the Amish people.  I have not got to read "The Choice" yet but this one picked up just fine on it's own.In this one Jorie King is living with her grandparents helping with their Percheron horses.  Her parents had left and moved to Canada to set up a new Amish settlement up there, but Jorie didn't want to go as she was in love with a neighbor boy named Ben Zook, but he had signed up to go to Vietnam, but as the Amish do not believe in bearing arms toward another human, he was supposed to just be a helper, but was he?  He left Jorie behind as he wanted to see more of the world, so she was going to be the school teacher the next year.

She was not sure about teaching so many large eighth grade boys and they were all behind in their studies, so she needed to do something done, so that when the school board came around the next May they would pass their exams, but could she control so many large boys?

In this book, a good friend passed away with Leukemia and left her husband and little girl.  The lot was also coming up for a new preacher in their community, who would the lot fall on?  This book is really good it is a little different than a lot of the Amish books I have read before, as it changed some of the ways, the older books wrote about. 

This book was sent to me by Revell Publishing for review.
