A Mysterious Disappearance Shakes an Amish Family's Faith
In book one of A Mifflin County Mystery series, after a night out with her boyfriend, Rosa Petersheim has disappeared from the Big Valley without a trace. Norman Petersheim always considered himself his sister's protector, and he can't believe she would have left home of her own accord. Clearly, he must have failed her. He throws all he has into helping the authorities search for Rosa, while trying to support his parents and siblings--who are struggling both mentally and physically. Salina Swarey loves Norman and hopes they are headed toward marriage, but his obsession with Rosa's whereabouts is driving them apart. Can Norman find peace and contentment, even if he never learns where Rosa has gone?

Marilyn's thoughts: Norman is a protector and blames himself
for his sister’s disappearance, while
he’s questioning and searching for answers. The Protector is not the usual
Amish story Brunstetter is known for. This one is filled with some depressing
characters and continuous uneventful happenings. I wondered where there faith
was as the Amish are to be known for? I was disappointed the twists and turns
and tragic events did not bring a resolution but a cliff hanger.
I received a complimentary copy of the book
from Barbour Publishing without any obligation to write a positive review. I
have expressed my own thoughts.
