For many of us, there’s a place we
run to when life falls apart.
A place that holds memories.
Comfort. Familiarity. Sometimes it’s a childhood home, a cabin in the woods, or
a small town where everyone knows your name. But what happens when that
place—once a refuge—becomes the most dangerous place of all?
In Framed in Amish Country,
Paige Grayson returns to Rachel’s Crossing believing it’s the one place she
might find help. Instead, she’s thrust into a deadly conspiracy, hunted by the
very justice system she once served. The Amish community, known for its peace
and simplicity, becomes the backdrop for a heart-pounding manhunt.
This story explores something I love
weaving into suspense: the betrayal of the familiar. It raises questions like:
- Can you ever truly go home again?
- What if the people you trusted most were hiding
secrets?
- And how do you keep faith alive when everything you
thought was safe crumbles?
I think that tension—between past
and present, faith and fear, safety and danger—is where some of the most
powerful suspense lives.
What about you? Have you ever
revisited a place from your past and found it changed—or found that you
had changed? Did it still feel like home?
About FRAMED IN AMISH COUNTRY
To prove her innocence, she’ll have to expose a lethal conspiracy.
A frantic call from her best friend sends district attorney Paige Grayson running right into a trap—and now she’s being framed for her friend’s murder. With the police after her and evidence against her stacking up, she seeks refuge in Amish country—and the help of her first love, Elijah King, to clear her name. To expose the drug dealer setting Paige up, they must work together while evading a ruthless criminal and the police. With threats closing in and time running out, one wrong move could be their last.

Good morning. I am not entering the contest because I read and reviewed an ARC and think this book is fantastic! My safe place (home, where I was born) ceased to become familiar to me once my entire family left the area and moved to Florida. It is feels strange gong to my hometown and seeing where I was raised, knowing that new people whom I have never met live there now. watts.vickie@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI get that completely, Vickie. Every time I go back to the place where I used to live I feel that way.
DeleteI want to go visit the university that I graduated from. The town has really sprung up and changed from what I have been told. deborahdumm(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how quickly things can change. You expect time to stand still and the places that were once part of our life to remain the same.
DeleteThe area I grew up in has changed. The houses are all empty and falling apart. We lived in a small housing project and they have blocked it off and made everyone move. My mom had lived there for over 50 years. It was so sad when we had to move her. linda-henderson@att.net
ReplyDeleteSo sad. That was home. Sometimes, I'm not sure what is called progress is a good thing.
DeleteYears ago went and spent some time at what use to be my grandparents summer cabin which is now a home. Except for a wall being taken down the up stairs still looks the same. Downstairs had some minor renovations but still reminded me of the cabin. Many more houses in the cove. cheetahthecat1982ATgmailDOTcom
ReplyDeleteGood memories, Kim.
DeleteI love that cover! I have a sweet daughter with that color hair and it definitely caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty hair color, Kim. I'd love to have it.

ReplyDeleteI tried to comment. It won't send it.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. Are you the post above as well? I can include you in the drawing.
DeleteMy old school has been torn down and a new school in its place. The city has grown and everything is different. While I enjoy many of the new places, I miss the places of the past.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t gone back to my hometown in quite a few years. Everything is built up and there is so much traffic and a plethora of businesses and houses.

I'd love to win a copy. Thanks for the chance. Boxtopscrazy at gmail dot com .
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think that once you leave a place you take the most important thing with you - your heart. While I love to revisit some old places, they never seem as glowing as our memory on returning. And that is probably due to both the place and the person changing - neither are like they were from back when both were together.
ReplyDeleteBlessed to have read ARC, I'm not entering the contest for this amazing 5 star story leaving it instead for some lucky person to enjoy it as much as I did.

Sounds like a really good book.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds so good! I can't wait to read it. The area where I lived from 6 years old until I married at 21 is not a safe area to visit anymore. For me, home was where my momma was but she has lived in heaven for 42 1/2 years now. Things change and don't feel the same but I still have the memories.

I went and visited the house I grew up in and the inside and outside side are totally different. Hard to see. But, I still hold wonderful memories of my childhood home.

The book sounds so thrilling! The old saying "you can never go home again" applies when parents/child has passed away, the neighborhood changes, and even some friends change how they interact with you. I have lived it, but I've grown and changed over the years. ceedee1958@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds exciting. Home should always be our safe place. Unfortunately for many in abusive homes it is not. So Sad. Reach out if you suspect someone needs help.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds exciting! Even under the best circumstances, when you go home it's never the same because you've changed.
ReplyDeleteYes there’s a lot of places like that for me my old neighborhood, stores, restaurants, Gatlinburg, ect. Ty for the chance!

Yes, I love going "home" to visit my family, but I haven't lived there for 20 years. They feel like home, but the city is different. I am different as well! P.S. This book sounds incredible! L Cisson @ gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThis sounds super interesting. 👀
ReplyDeleteThe betrayal could not have come from the Amish community, that would be considered a terrible sin.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a story I'd like to read! wauna01 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteGoing back to my elementary school and seeing the long hill we used for sledding makes me feel tall. The middle school is now a library. Home is a feeling you get about the people who surround you, and you take it with you wherever you go.
ReplyDeleteI think going back to places that have good memories are always a nice reminder of a easier simpler time and I like that.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book! I did revisit my former home from my past but only saw it from the outside; I'd rather remember the interior the way it looked when I lived there. The neighborhood for the most part still looks pretty much the same.
