From the very first sentence, this story takes off running. Literally. An Amish girl is tearing through a cornfield, terrified and confused, with a man chasing her. The twist? She has no idea who she is or why she’s running. That’s where her memory starts. And honestly, that’s all it takes to hook you.
This novella is short (less than 100 pages) but it packs a punch. Kate Burkholder jumps into the investigation, and as usual, her ties to the Amish community make everything more complicated and more personal. There's a strong sense of urgency throughout the story. You feel the clock ticking as they try to uncover the girl's identity before whoever hurt her can come back to finish the job.
It’s suspenseful, intense, and surprisingly emotional given the length. If you're following the Kate Burkholder series, this is a great in-between read. If you're new to the series, this might convince you to dive into the full-length novels.
