Book Synopsis
Mysterious Events Plague a Greenhouse in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country
When Vernon King, his son, and son-in-law are involved in a terrible accident, three women are left to cope with their deaths, as they become the sole providers of the family they have left. The women’s only income must come from the family greenhouse, but someone seems to be trying to force them out of business.
Amy King has just lost her father and brother, and her mother needs her to help run the family’s greenhouse. It doesn’t seem fair to ask her to leave a job she loves, when there is still a sister and brother to help. But Sylvia is also grieving for her husband while left to raise three children, and Henry, just out of school, is saddled with all the jobs his father and older brother used to do. As Amy assumes her new role, she also asks Jared Riehl to put their courtship on hold. When things become even more stressful at the greenhouse, will Amy crumble under the pressure?

My thoughts:
This is the first novel in the authors Amish Green house series and I will say that this book is my favorite penned by her in awhile. Don't get me wrong. she's one of my favorite authors but she has really written an interesting story with more mature characters and the very real challenges they are facing
I liked that this book is a bit more gritty from the very beginning where we meet characters who are faced with the deaths of three beloved family members and are left to carry on with their lives which include owning and operating the family greenhouse business. As in real life, we all cope with grief in different ways and we all need to keep forging ahead but it's different for everyone just as it is in the Crow's Call.
Ms. Brunstetter is a fantastic storyteller and she told a wonderful story in her latest novel. The way each family struggles with their losses from the oldest to the youngest is heartbreaking, add an annoying neighbor some vandalism and you have an interesting story to while away the hours. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
