About this ebook

Bestselling author BJ Hoff’s faithful fans will delight in the heartwarming conclusion to her acclaimed Riverhaven Years trilogy, following the success of the first two books in the series, Rachel’s Secret and Where Grace Abides. In this third book, young Gideon Kanagy faces a life-changing challenge--and an unexpected romance with his young Amish friend, Emma Knepp. Gideon’s sister, Rachel, and the "outsider" Jeremiah Gant add to the drama with their own dilemma and its repercussions for the entire community of Riverhaven.

As with all of BJ's popular books, unforgettable characters and well-drawn suspense keep readers turning pages into the wee hours.

Ratings and reviews

Very disappointing. Having read two other books by this author, I was under the impression that she is a Christian and that the last book in this trilogy would have Christian ending. In a true Christian ending, some of the main characters would have been saved by God and led out of the Amish sect/cult to a true Christian church. God never leads saved believers to a false religion nor leaves those He saves in a false religion. None of the characters in this story had saving faith and did not go to be with the Lord when they died.

Amish life during the underground railroad era with twists that keep you reading.

Awesome....I just loved it. Could not put it down.,..
