More Than Words

More Than Words by Judith Miller

About The Book:

Gretchen Kohler is an Amana storekeeper's daughter with a secret passion for writing. But artistic pursuits are frowned upon in her conservative Amana village, so she confines her poems and stories to her journals, letting only close friends read them. When a young reporter comes into her store, she believes she's found a kindred spirit. She shares a few of her stories with him - only to have her trust betrayed in the worst of ways, resulting in trouble for her entire community. The scandal is made even worse by the fact that gypsies have camped nearby and seem to be preying upon the Amanans' compassionate, pacifist nature. Will Gretchen lose her job, her reputation, and the love of her childhood beau all because of one bad decision? 

My Thoughts:

 The book is part of a series called Daughters Of Amana. I've not yet read any of the other books in the series. I really enjoyed this one, though. The author sure does know her history, and tells of it very well. The story is a bit suspenseful, and keeps you coming back for more until you finish it. You just can't wait to see what is going to happen!
