Cheryl and Levi are adjusting to their life together as newlyweds, as well as figuring out the nuances of a relationship between an Englisher and Amish farmer. Despite discovering the new challenges and insights brought about by married life, Cheryl has not lost her knack for solving mysteries; join her and her friends from Sugarcreek on their adventures as they eagerly go about living their new lives together! 

My thoughts: IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME is a collection of four novellas written by five different authors about one couple during their first year of marriage. This book wraps up the Sugar Creek Amish Mystery series published by Guideposts. 

Summer is written by Elizabeth Adams and a mystery pops up about what happened to Levi's ancestor after World War II when he was sent to a work camp. Rumors abound. Did he run off with the camp cook? Did he move to Wisconsin with a friend? No one knows. But Cheryl follows clues to solve the mystery. 

Autumn is by Elizabeth Ludwig and it seems as though Levi's building project is being sabotaged. Is it because someone is angry Levi married Cheryl? Or what is going on? Naomi and Cheryl work together to unravel this mystery. 

Winter by Nancy Mehl is a sweet story. Carrie married her childhood sweetheart late in life, but she's a bit disabled and falls easily. When a big dog shows up on her property and her husband 'adopts' the dog, Carrie is worried. Then the church manger her husband is refinishing for Christmas is stolen. Who took it and why?  Cheryl and Levi are able to figure out this puzzle. 

Spring by Tricia Goyer and Cara Putman has Levi finding old letters and a diary in a hidden drawer in a family cradle.  But what does the puzzle of names and dates mean?  A visit to a historical museum might hold the key to this ancient mystery.
