Product Description(Amazon.com)
As the rest of the nation is embroiled in Civil War, the Amana Colonies remain peaceful. Amalie Wiese arrives in the newly built village of Amana in 1863

hopes that working alongside Friedrich’s best friend will provide some comfort, but Matthias is abrupt and cold. Little does Amalie know that Matthias has been in

MY THOUGHTS: This is a new author for me. This was a very enjoyable book. I really liked all the characters. Books with the Amish, Mennonites, Mormons, Shakers religion seem to be pretty poplar right now. My book club just read one. The story is all about a subtle love triangle between Amalie, her fiance Fredrich and his best friend Matthias. The Amana Colonies were a different type of religious sect. From the cover I assumed it to be Amish, but it never tells what religious sect they belong to. I would like to read more about the Amana Colonies, I'll have to search this out. Do Amalie and Fredrich get together? Or is is Amalie and Matthias? You'll have to read the book to find out.
MY RATING: 5
[This is a free review book and my own opinion.]
