A Painful Absence, a Desperate Heart... Is It Too Late to Find Lettie Byler?

Grace Byler longs to uncover the secret that drove her mother to leave the family weeks ago. When all hopes are dashed for such a search, an unlikely friendship leads to a surprising invitation. Meanwhile, the young Amishman Grace thought was courting her best friend takes a sudden interest in her, and Grace's decision to remain single is challenged even as her determination to find her mother grows.

"The reigning queen of Amish fiction is back with another tale of secrets, love, and relationships between 'Plain Folk' and Englishers. Determined to find her mother who left the community, 21-year-old Grace Byler decides not to marry her fiancé and meets Englisher Heather Nelson, who has come to the community because of her own mother. Together they travel in search of Grace's mother.... Lewis has penned another touching novel with well-drawn characters and a compelling plot. It is sure to be in high demand by the author's many fans and anyone who enjoys Amish stories." --Library Journal (Starred review)

The story of Grace, her family and friends continues, with the family still distraught at the departure of Grace?s mother. Although we know why she left, and what she has been doing, the family do not and Grace is determined to find her and persuade her to come home. Grandmother, who knows about the past, is at last prepared to give Grace a phone number that might help. Alongside this strand of the story is Grace?s non-existent love life ? or is it; the ?Englisher? Heather?s fight against her cancer, and her father?s plans to settle in the Amish countryside, and of course what mother is doing and where she is. We shall have to wait for The Telling to have all these matters resolved. Not long to wait, it is due out in May 2010.
