The dedication is to those of us “who have endured the cruelty of a mean person”. The kind of mean that stays with you and is intended to do just that. The mean can be words or actions that hurt to our very core. That years later still whisper it in our ear. Author Heidi McCahan reminds us that we are stronger than we know. We all have the slings of barbs and arrows. And we can’t always avoid the people who use them. Her Alaskan Family is about that. There are no horrible scenes with yelling and screaming. Just a woman who figures out how to live with those whose words and actions hurt, even in a small way.

Protecting the Amish Child by Dana R. Lynn
Rating: 5 stars ~ Genre: Amish mystery, Christian ~ Publish Date: 20 Aug 2024
Ever pick up a book and everything fades but the words on the page and the scenes flow one to another? Anytime I am granted the opportunity to review one of her Amish mysteries, I’m the gal jumping up and down and yelling, “Me! Me! Me!” She has fast become one of my favorite Amish mystery authors.
What a story! How Dana Lynn comes up with unique mystery plots one after the other — good mystery plots. This one — 12 words start the description and I was hooked. “A killer in pursuit…and a little boy’s life is at stake.”
