Editorial Review:

Product Description:


When Anna decides it's time to leave her abusive boyfriend, she doesn't know where to turn. Rob has completely won over her parents, and the entire community, with his good looks and smooth charm. Only Anna has seen his dark side.



Desperate, she runs to the only place she's ever felt completely safe—the Amish Brenneman Bed and Breakfast, where Anna met life-long friend Katie Brenneman. The family welcomes her in, and with few questions asked allows her to stay, dressed in Plain clothing, and help around the inn.



Katie's older brother Henry is the only one who doesn't take too kindly to the intrusion. He tries to ignore Anna, knowing no good would ever come from caring for an Englisher like her. But as he gets to know Anna, he discovers her good heart and is surprised with her readiness to accept their lifestyle.



The more time Anna spends with the Amish, the more she feels she's found a true home. But how can she deny the life she left behind? And will her chance for happiness be stolen away by the man from her past?






Rating: - Great read but too short
I loved this book, but it was way too short, especially for what it cost. I couldn't put it down and was finished before I knew it. Now I can't read the second one on my Kindle because it's not available.

Also, I noticed an error in the part where the neighbor delivered the note to Anna; at first she had a silver car, but when she drove off, she had a white truck. I can't believe that I'm the only person who noticed this. I would think this would have been caught while proofing ... Read More

Rating: - Hidden-A must-read for lovers of Amish fiction!
Hidden kicks off the Sisters of the Heart trilogy, and in my humble opinion, puts Shelley Shepard Gray right up there with the best Amish fiction authors. I was drawn into the story from the start, and begrudged every moment I had to tear myself away from it.
Since there are plenty of reviews with the plot line already discussed, I will just say it was so good that I am very anxious to get my hands on the second book in this series!

Rating: - Very good book!
I love reading Amish/Mennonite fiction and this book was no exception. I couldn't put it down and finished it in two days.

Rating: - An enjoyable read.
I met Shelley at the 2008 ACFW conference AFTER I had read her novel. I didn't have the book with me so she graciously signed a book plate for me to bring home from the conference.

This is an Amish story with a difference. Even though I am also an anabaptist (Old German Baptist Brethren) I do not always feel the published Amish stories are "realistic," This one was. I highly recommend this book and will read the next one.
