What to Believe
Ada, a young Amish woman, always felt like she played second fiddle in life. When her best friend, Rosa, caught the eye of Ephraim, Ada secretly wished Ephraim had liked her instead.
Long after the two became an item, Rosa disappeared after a huge fight with Ephraim. Many people witnessed the blow up, and there were rumors that Ephraim did something to her. It has been disproved, but many still think he is guilty.
Ephraim is now back home after spending several months away helping his grandmother. He has started spending time with Ada, but is he sincere, or is he trying to squelch the rumors about him, and using Ada as a distraction. After all, Ada has never felt worthy of his love.
There are interesting side stories, too. First, Ephraim’s grandmother, Sarah, and the friendship she has formed with Josiah. Then there is Susan, Rosa’s sister, who is in love with Amish bad boy, Ben. Next, the mysterious barn burnings that have never been solved.
This is a great book because of all the things that come about with Ada, the side stories, and the on-going mystery of what happened to Rosa. You will be glued to this tale, wanting to know what takes place next.
Although part of a series, this clean story stands on its own. If you are a fan of well-written stories, Amish tales, or mysteries, you will enjoy this five-star book. I recommend it.
