Loved this book!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I'm delighted you enjoyed the story. The plot was inspired by a comment my daughter's father-in-law made when we were discussing my Amish reseach. He happened to mention that many Amish buggy horses are former race horses. What an intriging thought. After that, it was simply a case of plotting why and what ifs. Why would someone who once worked in the world of racing be staying in an Amish community long enough to fall in love with an Amish woman? The idea of amnesia seemed the perfect answer.
