The Mockingbird's Song (Amish Greenhouse Mystery #2) by Wanda E. Brunstetter

 

Book Description

Where Is the Hope in Grief for a Young Amish Widow?

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:

The Mockingbird’s Song is the second book in the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series by Ms. Brunstetter. The family is still grieving the deaths of their family members with Sylvia having the most difficult time of coming to terms with the loss of not only her father and brother but also the loss of her husband and father of her two young children.  

It’s been a difficult time for the loved ones left to try to carry on with their lives, especially Sylvia who has moved home with her mother, sister, younger brother and her two kids.  She has faced so many challenges in coping with her new normal life.  The one thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that someone is making more mischief for the family trying to cause problems and interfere with their greenhouse business.  I have narrowed it down to two suspects but the author will probably prove me wrong which I’m perfectly with but I am so anxious to find out who the hateful culprit is.

I really enjoyed this story, seeing Sylvia come out of her shell while spending time with her brother as they enjoy bird watching together.  It was nice to see the two siblings open up to each other while sharing a hobby but also watching Sylvia learn to live life to the fullest was heartwarming, too.

I suggest reading The Crow’s Call first to familiarize with this sweet family and their story. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
