Review

Shadows We Remain is Mose J. Gingerich’s first book. Every budding author would hope their first book was a good as this one. The reader should keep in mind when reading that Mose (after reading his blog I feel like I know him) was raised Amish until he was 22.

Don’t start this book if you have a lot to do because it probably won’t get done. The scenes, the characters, the plots … and sub-plots are vivid. Pulling you into the situations as they occur. The pacing is wonderful, especially considering this is his first novel.

I do not want to give anything away about this story. It’s too good for you not to discover each twist and turn of the book. You almost feel like you should be ducking for cover part of the time. Other times you want to bash a couple of Amish heads together. All I can say is … READ IT as soon as you can. And don’t skip the Prologue!

I am also asking you to read two articles on his website:

  • Amish For life: Part I where he cites his top 10 reasons why you may not be cut out for the Amish life.
  • Amish For life: Part II where he focuses on the positive things about being Amish—the reasons that he stayed until he was 23 years old.
  • Note: The descriptions are Mose’s.

This reviewer is delighted that there is book 2 of the Caroline Creek Series coming.

  1. Thank you Lynda. Correction… Caroline Creek Series, not Candle.

    1. I seem to make one really embarrassing goof a week. Sorry Mose. Fixed immediately.
