He helps her hide until danger has passed. She hopes her cover lasts long enough.
When Stephanie Miller planned her visit to a dollar store in southern Ohio, she was expecting to pick up a few items she couldn’t find in her Amish community. She was not expecting to find herself an innocent bystander as a drug deal went horribly wrong. The sole witness to a murder, now Stephanie is targeted by the gunman.
Hardy Anderson is always ready to help his social worker sister, Bev–which now includes hiding an Amish woman until a killer can be brought to justice. Surely if they dress her in English clothing, Hardy can hide her at the sprawling ranch where he works. But the killer is desperate–and there’s no telling what lengths he will go.
PRAISE FOR UNFORGOTTEN
“Readers won’t be able to resist the propulsive plotting. This begs to be read in one sitting.”—Publishers Weekly
“This uplifting story of healing reminds readers that God’s love and grace endures even within one’s trauma and fear.”—Booklist
This tension-filled tale is sure to thrill fans of Amish fiction and romantic suspense alike. Acclaimed author threads together themes of protective hero, fish out of water, and confronting trauma.
An Amish woman’s life radically changes after she witnesses a deadly gang initiation outside a store in Ohio.
Author Shelley Shepard Gray introduces readers to Stephanie Miller in Unshaken. Stephanie, who gets caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time, suddenly finds herself sent to Kentucky for safety.
Without a clear understanding of how the world outside her home functions, the Dutch-speaking main character must trust a stranger with facial scarring. Hardy Anderson may look menacing, but he will protect Stephanie.
However, distance doesn’t matter to someone who has failed his gang initiation. It’s just a matter of time before Stephanie’s trail is discovered.
As an Amish romantic suspense, the story blends all the necessary components. Stephanie’s faith is solid, even as she adapts to the outside world.
Unshaken illustrates how a young woman relies on her faith to help navigate a traumatic situation.
