Annie was not Amish but English- and in her quest to hide from a business man who was trying to steal her business and to get herself together she finds herself very comfortable in Amish Country.

This is the second book in the series the first was "Accidentally Amish". In the Second book Annie has made the decision to stay in Amish Country. Her parents don't understand it- and Annie is not sure she understands it herself but she finds love inside the Amish community as she gets to know Rufus Beiler. Do Rufus and Annie finally marry- Does Annie really join the Amish church???

What happens with Ruth, Rufus's younger sister, who has left the Amish to study in college and risks being put under the ban. The attentions of Elijah Capp bring Ruth's path to a crossroad.

What is going on when building materials start to disappear and then an explosion is heard?? Are the Amish boys at fault or have they somehow been hanging out with the wrong young people during their rumspringa???
Making this book multi-layered, will Magdalena continue to wait for Nathanael?

A very interesting story that kept me reading page and page and not wanting to put the book down!!! This book also continues the history of the Bieler family from century's ago that first came to America!!

In Plain View is the second book in the Valley of Choice series. It had been quite a while since I read the first book, but that didn't cause me any problems in picking up where Accidentally Amish left off. However, I would highly recommend that you read the series in order from the beginning, as the books are closely tied together--more like one long story with the main characters.

There are actually two parallel stories in this series, though the contemporary one is the main storyline. The other story, which is interspersed with Annie and Rufus' story, centers on family ancestors during the Revolutionary War. The historic story line is actually very interesting and brings out the dilemma of the peaceful Amish during the time their countrymen were divided as to their allegiance.

In this book, we have the opportunity to become better acquainted with Rufus, who has been single a good deal longer than his contemporaries, and we also get to know members of Annie's family. Annie seems much more settled into her new life choice, although there are significant lapses.

I like this second book even more than the first. I recommend this series to anyone who has ever thought she might enjoy the Amish life.
