Rachel’s Secret- Book 1 in The Riverhaven Years
In this new, groundbreaking series, BJ redefines the traditional Amish novel for today’s readers.
With the first book, Rachel’s Secret, she introduces a new community of her trademark unforgettable characters and combines all the elements her readers have come to expect from her historical novels: a tender love story, the faith journeys of people we grow to know and love, and enough suspense to keep the pages turning quickly.
When the wounded Irish American riverboat captain, Jeremiah Gant, bursts through the fog into the rural Amish setting of Riverhaven, he brings chaos and conflict to the whole community—especially for the young widow, Rachel Brenneman, and her family. The unwelcome “outsider” needs a safe place to recuperate before continuing his secret role as an Underground Railroad conductor. Neither he nor Rachel is prepared for the forbidden love that threatens to endanger a man’s mission, a woman’s heart, and a way of life for an entire people.
