From bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray comes The Search—a page-turning romance novel that's tinged with mystery, set in Kentucky Amish country. One of the most popular writers of Christian romantic fiction with Amish themes—a much beloved romantic storyteller who stands alongside such notable novelists as Beverly Lewis, Wanda Brunstetter, and Cindy Woodsmall—Gray returns once more to a small devout community rocked by the murder of a young, black-sheep neighbor. An unforgettable tale of romance, faith, and duty, The Search tells the story of a love that blossoms between a young woman who's guarding shocking secrets about the victim, and the dedicated "Englischer" homicide detective who has arrived from the outside world to investigate.
