Book Description: Sylvia has been nearly paralyzed with grief and anxiety since the tragic death of her husband, father, and brother in a traffic accident. She tries to help in the family’s greenhouse while caring for her two young children, but she prefers not to have to deal with customers. Her mother’s own grief causes her to hover over her children and grandchildren, and Sylvia seeks a diversion. She takes up birdwatching and soon meets an Amish man who teaches her about local birds. But Sylvia’s mother doesn’t trust Dennis Weaver, and as the relationship sours, mysterious attacks on the greenhouse start up again.
My Thoughts: After reading The Crow's Call by Wanda E. Brunstetter I was so excited to receive this next book.
This is a wonderful story of love and grace. And it's a somewhat sequel to The Crow's Call. It's about the women who lost their husbands in the tragic buggy accident. So, in a way the books should be read in order.
Poor Sylvia she was once a married woman and independent in the community. And then she becomes a widow with two young children.
And mothers! Mothers try so hard to help but so many times they inadvertently get in the way. Hence, Sylvia's mother, who also lost her husband, is giving Sylvia a headache by trying to run her life.
A wonderful story. This is not a fast paced story so if you're looking for a fast paced mystery, this isn't it. This is more of a cozy mystery with alot of Amish facts for those of us who love reading about the Amish community.
