Description

Mysterious Events Plague a Greenhouse in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country
 
When Vernon King, his son, and son-in-law are involved in a terrible accident, three women are left to cope with their deaths, as they become the sole providers of the family they have left. The women’s only income must come from the family greenhouse, but someone seems to be trying to force them out of business.
 
Amy King has just lost her father and brother, and her mother needs her to help run the family’s greenhouse. It doesn’t seem fair to ask her to leave a job she loves, when there is still a sister and brother to help. But Sylvia is also grieving for her husband while left to raise three children, and Henry, just out of school, is saddled with all the jobs his father and older brother used to do. As Amy assumes her new role, she also asks Jared Riehl to put their courtship on hold. When things become even more stressful at the greenhouse, will Amy crumble under the pressure?

    I’m an avid reader, and have enjoyed many, many of Wanda Brunstetter’s books. Her latest book, ”The Crow’s Call”, which is different because it is a mystery, did not disappoint. It kept me intrigued and reading curiously until the very last page.

    The story centers around Amy King, a young woman who is growing up in the picturesque backdrop of the village of Strasberg, in the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch country.
    This is an area with which I’m familiar, because it is a place where my family spent vacations, camping, during the summers in my growing up years. I recall it as being beautiful and peaceful, with lush, green rolling farmland. A place with a slower pace of life, where simple pleasures, like homemade root beer, bread and candy are popular treats, and family homestyle meals are commonplace.

    It is a peaceful and quaint area, which reminds me of the simplicity of the past, a welcome reprieve from the frantic ways of much of today’s society. There is so much to be said for this lifestyle.

    Amy’s character is kind, thoughtful, steady, and discerning. She is reliable and compassionate, and also stands behind her convictions.
    Amy cultivates her relationships much like the tender care a farmer puts into planting farms to bring forth harvest. She treats each person in her life with care and thoughtful concern, and is a good daughter, sister and friend. Everyone around her benefits from her consistent love and compassion.

    Amy’s character’s life brings up a lot of pertinent questions about the importance and value of making the right decisions, loyalty, selflessness, and communication in relationships. It alludes to the fact that every action a person makes in life can have a positive impact on others, moreso than we realize. Like the ripples of a pond, each person’s life touches others, emanating out even to the periphery of our sphere of influence.

    Amy’s commitment to serve God and her family, and her reaction to things she encounters makes me admire her character. It made me stop and think how this compares to what society tells us to do in certain situations. Additionally, supporting characters’ honest reactions to circumstances in the story make them easily relatable, yet complex characters.

    Another thing I enjoyed about this book is the mystery having to do with Amy’s family, which is a question mark in their lives, and not predictable....I like to try to figure things out, but was unable to solve the mystery here....I was kept in suspense.

    I look forward to reading Part 2 of this series, to see how the pieces fall into place in Amy’s life....This was a great read. It is a nice story, and I liked getting to know the characters. I can’t wait for the next Greenhouse mystery (Part 2), from Wanda Brunstetter.
