Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Ohio by Serena Miller Review & Giveaway




Guideposts Books is excited to announce the premiere of a new film based on the book Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Ohio (Summerside Press) by Serena Miller. 
A mysterious outsider casts a long shadow on Ohio’s Amish country. Policewoman Rachel Troyer has always looked after her three elderly Amish aunts, proprietors of a farmhouse inn near Sugarcreek, Ohio. The idyllic town is popular with tourists, who come to sample its famous Amish goods. But one thing is clear to Rachel – Joe Matthews is no tourist. When the bearded stranger lands on her aunts’ doorstep, begging shelter for himself and his young son, Rachel is suspicious.
Will she be able to uncover Joe’s secrets despite her aunts’ – and her own – growing affection for him?

My review
I like to read an Amish story that is unlike the rest, and that is what I found in this book. The author did a great job of making the town realistic. The idea of an outsider is always interesting in a small community and as identities and secrets are found out, decisions are made. However not all of them might be the right ones. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. This is definitely a movie that I will be watching.
