      Jessica Bachmann abandoned her Amish family three years ago after clashing with the bishop. When she returns home for her father's funeral, she finds herself shunned. Yet her heart still leaps at the sight of Silas Kemp, the suitor she left behind, who now plans to marry her sister. Jessica takes to heart her Aenti Suz's telling of a Revolutionary War ancestor who had to make similar choices. An inspired Jessica chooses to stay and fight to protect the land her family has farmed for 200 years. VERDICT There's a sharp edge to Gould's (Amish Sweethearts) series launch in its portrayal of the Amish as judgmental, arrogant gossips. The hardness in some of the characters is unusual for this genre. Still, fans will root for Jessica to overcome her familial and romantic obstacles.
