More settled in her heart than ever before, Rhoda Byler feels a newfound confidence living in the Old Order Amish settlement she helped establish in Orchard Bend, Maine. Time has helped to heal the wounds of Rhoda’s recent severed relationship, and she finds that even her unusual gift of profound intuition is less of a burden as she continues to seek God’s wisdom for her future. She is happy to be working alongside the King family and the love of her life as they tend and nurture the settlement’s orchard. Yet when Leah King’s involvement with Englischer Landon Olson becomes known outside of the Maine community, her disregard of the Ordnung could threaten all the Orchard Bend Amish are building. In the midst of addressing the discord, a shocking tragedy challenges the young settlement like never before, threatening to uproot Rhoda’s peace and the future of everything she holds dear. When several members of Orchard Bend Farms are displaced, the estranged King brother is called upon to return.

Whose Fault? is the true story that speaks about a young girl who was born, grew up in a village, where she lived with her grandmother and her uncles without knowing her biological father. Her mother (Camilla), whom she called sister, got pregnant when working as a labourer at the NAFCO estate. After becoming pregnant, Camilla’s relationship with Godson didn’t end in a good way; she was forced out of her job and went back home to her family, where she gave birth to her daughter (Olive). Actually, Olive’s family weren’t financially sound enough to fulfil her needs, including sending her to secondary school after finishing her primary school education, although they would have loved to do so. She lived in the village where most of her fellow pupils ended up getting married and becoming farmers after their primary school education. Olive never wanted to get married or even to be a farmer; actually, life in the village never pleased her. Her dreams were to study to high levels after her primary school education. It was impossible for her to achieve her dreams because of the lack of finance in her family. She believed that if she could know her father, he could manage to educate her further, although she wasn’t sure of her thought. As she grew up and approached the end of her primary school education, she found herself in a dilemma. She was running out of time, and she had only a few months to find out about her father. She decided to force her mother to show her father to her. Otherwise, she would have to take the responsibility of taking her to secondary school, something that was impossible for her mother, who had been married to another man at the same village at the moment. Her mother never allowed her to ask those kinds of questions because it was a sort of shame in that village for girls who were brought up without knowing their fathers to demand to know them. Her mother was harsh to her, and her whole family was against her idea, but that didn’t stop her from asking and getting what she wanted. Although she didn’t have a clue about her father, she went the extra mile when she decided to search for him. She went through terrible moments that nearly took her life. I gave the book (Whose Fault) this title because, in the end, Olive met her father. One day, she asked him why he never searched for her, or even wanted to know whether she existed or not as he never saw (Camilla) again for fourteen years after she got pregnant. Surprisingly, his response was, ‘It was your mother’s fault. It was her responsibility to show your father to you.’ She realised that if she had never searched for him, he wouldn’t have ever searched for her, even though she didn’t know whom to blame.
Fatal Family Ties
S.C. Perkins's Fatal Family Ties is the captivating third mystery in the Ancestry Detective series, in which Texas genealogist Lucy Lancaster deals with murders in both the past and present. Lucy is just about to tuck into a plate of tacos at her favorite Austin joint, Big Flaco's, when she gets an unexpected visit from her former—and least-favorite—co-worker. Camilla Braithwaite hasn't gotten much friendlier since the last time Lucy saw her, but that doesn't stop her from asking a favor. In her hand is a newspaper feature on an ancestor, a civil war corporal—and a liar, according to the article. Charles Braithwaite is depicted as a phony and a deserter, and Camilla wants Lucy's help clearing his name. Lucy would prefer to spend her free time with her new beau, special agent Ben Turner, but takes the case, making no promises that Camilla will like the outcome of her investigation. Camilla leads Lucy to the Texas History Museum, where their first clue is a triptych painting, passed down in the Braithwaite family for generations, one panel of which has disappeared. But before Lucy can get much further, a member of the Braithwaite family is murdered in his own bed, and another panel of the painting found missing. There are no shortage of suspects among the Braithwaite clan—including Camilla herself. This case will take Lucy to Houston and back again as she works to find the truth, and catch an elusive killer.
