HER SECRET
By Shelley Shepard Gray
I’ve not read anything by Shelley Shepard Gray before, but Her Secret, the first novel in her new series, illustrates why she’s a popular Christian writer. Her style is smooth and readable,
her characters are easy to know, and her stories center on realistic daily life. This is an engaging Amish woman-in-jeopardy story where the suspense element is prominent, and the romance, Amish environment, and spiritual messages are woven around a hovering threat.
The Hilty family has a near perfect life in the Amish community of Berlin, Ohio, and Hannah, the eldest daughter, works at a tourist diner. She admits that she had made some foolish mistakes during her rumspringa — encouraging the Englisher Trent being the worst one — but that is over now, and she has pledged herself to her community. When Trent doesn't give up, her parents make a difficult and unpopular decision to avoid the determined stalker by moving the family to the rural Amish community at Munfordville, Kentucky, to begin a new life in safety.
Over time Hannah stops being a recluse in Kentucky and meets Amish farmer, Isaac Troyer. As affection and love blossom between Isaac and Hannah, signs appear that Trent has followed Hannah yet again. It is in the Kentucky community that all the Hiltys learn the importance of reaching out to others when trouble touches them and to accept support when offered.
