From the back cover...

Katie Lapp's identity had been shattered the moment she found the satin baby dress in the attic of her parents Amish home. Painfully torn from her close knit community in the frightening ordeal all the shunning, Katie-now Katherine Mayfield-sets out to find the ailing birth mother she has never known.

Her journey takes her to the peaceful home of Lydia Miller, where electric lights and telephones set Katherine's mind whirling with "fancy" things, and on to the elaborate Bennett estate in the Finger Lakes region of New York. There she stumbles into a world of compassion and greed, mercy and betrayal-where the plain garb of the Amish is misused to disguise an evil conspiracy.

Unknown to Katherine, her first love, Daniel, is taking appropriate steps to return to his Amish family-and to her. But their worlds may have drifted too far apart to bridge...

Shunned from her home and alone in the world of strangers, Katherine Mayfield longs only for the gentle, loving embrace of the woman she hopes to call Mother.

The series was a good one. I enjoyed entering into the Amish mindset.

Awesome series

This series is vastly different in my opinion from the other Amish books by the same author. To me this is too English. But there is one more to read int he series so maybe it will come back around again.

Wonderful sequel. I could not put it down.

I think this book is excellent. I really Love Beverly Lewis and how she writes details of her characters. It's in great condition.

Spectacular; couldn't put it down :)

Second book in the heritage of Lancaster county series. Katie Lapp longs to know her birth mother. A good book. Very sweet

A great story about the little known Amish people.

Just as good as the first book. Nice light reading. Good for teens.

Great read...anxious to know what happens in the next book of the series.

Great reading! 2nd in the series. Really tears at your heart strings.

The second book of the Heritage of Lancaster County in the Amish country. All three books are very good reading and I could hardly wait until I read the next one.

This is the second in a series about an Amish woman who discovers that her life is not what it seems. It's very interesting.

An entertaining book. You must read the entire series and the reunion book that completes the story.

great series, wonderful way to learn about the Amish ways.

The second in the series regarding Katherine and questions of who her birth mother might be and confessions that ensue.

ONCE I START THESE BOOKS I CAN'T PUT THEM DOWN,INTERESTING TILL THE VERY END.

Amish woman suffers the "shun" from her community.

Very excellent book as are all of her series.

This is the second in a series by Beverly Lewis. Delightful reading about Amish romances, as always.

This is #2 of the Lancaster County series.This was a good book and am looking forward to reading #3 The Reckoning.

Very good reading.

Just like the first book in the series this one was a wonderful read. Very easy to read and hard to put down! I can't wait to start reading book three.

This book is really good! You will enjoy this book very much! This is only the middle in the series, though.

Even better than the first book!

Very much enjoyed this 2nd book of the 3-book series.
Could hardly put it down until I had finished it!
If you read "The Shunning" then you will definatly want
to read this sequel!

very good read!

This is the sequel to the author's The Shunning, which I have not read. This book was interesting to me, it goes into the Amish culture. Katherine is this book goes looking for her birth mother and this is the story of her search. There is a 3rd book in the series as well.

From Library Journal
Katie Lapp has known no other world than that of the Amish who raised her. Since her refusal to accept their ways fully has resulted in her being shunned (see The Shunning, Bethany, 1997), Katie takes refuge with a Mennonite family and tracks down her biological mother. However, Katie soon realizes that Laura Mayfield-Bennett is not only mortally ill but also married to a man more concerned with her money than with her. This undemanding book gives a good portrait of an Amish girl facing the outside world for the first time but is too dependent on coincidence to be fully believable. Still, a pleasant enough story that will be welcome in larger collections.

You have to read The Shunning first. I LOVED this book I started it today and finished it today. I couldn't put it done. Any normally I do not read Christian romance books.
