Ignoring the stern warning
of Bishop Troyer, Lizzy Zook exchanges emails with Sally Bingham; subject purebred
dogs. When Lizzy invites Sally to visit
her at her B&B in Bird-in Hand in Lancaster County, the latter accepts over
the vehement objection of her ailing single dad Ed, owner of Honest Ed’s Used
Cars, who raised her by himself in Connecticut.
Ed says his “Mustang Sally” should forget about finding her mom; as her
mother could find them if she wanted to meet her. Sally’s fiancé Donald also thinks Amish
country is a waste of time.
After a near “fender bender”
with Bishop Troyer, Sally meets Lizzie, who takes her into her home. Farmhand Armin King and Lizzie are attracted
to one another but both know a relationship is nearly impossible even though he
spent years as English. Meanwhile Sally
begins to learn the truth about her roots.
The third Legacy of
Lancaster Amish family drama (see Pennsylvania Patchwork and Leaving Lancaster)
is an engaging tale in which the women take action that the men vehemently oppose. Though Donald proves no competition with his
strong-arm tactics including an assault, series fans will enjoy this entry due
to a strong cast who bring to life a young woman’s awakening to a missing major
part of her heritage.
