Softly Blows the Bugle

Elisabeth Kaufman is a shy young Amish widow, still restless and uneasy with her position in the community. She was married once to an "Englischer" as they called the non-Amish, and some in the community seem to have never forgiven her for marrying outside their overly strict Amish boundaries of the "church". She feels that she doesn't deserve a chance at love and a family of her own. But God's not done with her broken heart and spirit. When her brother returns home from the war, he brings along wounded Southerner, Aaron Zook too. An Amish gentleman called Solomon Mast also moves into the community, and makes himself right at home. But secrets and rumors fly quickly about the tight-knit town of Weaver's Creek, and people are not always what they first seem to be. And trust misplaced can be a very dangerous thing. This is the first Amish book I've read in a long time, and the one I've liked the most. Their rules and regulations are irritating and abrasive in most any Amish book, but this had the least of any I've read. After I got through the first few chapters, it was much more enjoyable, and actually exciting to the point I was on the edge of my seat lol! I received this book free from Revell for an honest review, and the thoughts and opinions listed above are my own.
