In Her Brother's Keeper, Charlotte Dolinsky had perpetrated a deception on Lancaster County's Amish community, pretending to be one of them, in an attempt to find out the cause of her brother's suicide. Now living in Texas and trying to recover from a breakup with her boyfriend, Charlotte receives an unexpected visitor from her former "home" in Amish country, asking for assistance. As her past resurfaces, she realizes that she needs to return to Paradise, PA. Helping Daniel Byler, who's still spinning from his fiancée's betrayal, save one of his family members from being shunned by the community is no small task. Daniel is wary of Charlotte. She is not only a stranger but from the English world. Will two brokenhearted souls find a way to mend together?
VERDICT Wiseman's second series installment never loses steam, and the cliff-hanger ending will have fans lining up for the third volume. Although this may work as a stand-alone, readers will better understand the various backstories by starting with the first volume. Suggest to those seeking a more truthful, less saccharine portrayal of the trials of human life and the transformative growth and redemption that may occur as a result.
