Search - Bygones (Sommerfield Trilogy, Bk 1)

I have not read from this author before. She has a similar writing style to Wanda Brunstetter and Beverly Lewis. I enjoy both those authors tremendously. I did enjoy the mystery in this novel. I look forward to reading the final 2 parts of this trilogy.

This is a very enjoyable story of a mother and daughter who return to the birthplace of the mother and must learn to continue to trust and have faith in each other, even when things are not as they seem. A spiritual story but with a mystery that unfolds in the telling. A wonderful story of family, faith, trust and love.

Twenty three years ago, Marie Koeppler left her Old Order Mennonite family & faith to begin an exciting new life with Jep Quinn. But her husbands early death cut her dreams short. Widowed & alone Marie makes just enough to survive & raise her daughter Beth in the outside world.
Ensnared by lifes rhythms, Marie has but a faint memory of former life in Sommerfield, Kansas. That is, until ex beau Henry Braun suddenly shows up bearing news. An elderly aunt died leaving Beth a house & small cafe back home. But there's a hitch. To claim the inheritance, Beth must temporarily reside in Sommerfield.
An excellent book. Well worth reading. I am anxious to start the second one in this trilogy.

I could hardly put this down. Very interesting story.

I enjoyed the book a lot and immediately ordered the remaining two of the trilogy. It was a pleasant and interesting read. I will look for more by this author.

Awesome book
