Love Finds You in Amana, Iowa
Description:
As the rest of the nation is embroiled in the Civil War, the Amana
Colonies have remained at peace—until now. Amalie Wiese arrives in the
newly built village of Amana in 1863 only to find that her fiancé,
Friedrich, has left to fight with the Union army. Amalie fears for his
safety even as she struggles with his decision to abandon the colony’s
peace-loving beliefs. She hopes that working alongside Friedrich’s best
friend will provide some comfort, but Matthias is abrupt and cold.
When Matthias himself leaves for the battlefront to deliver supplies to the
soldiers, war rages in Amalie’s own heart. Will love claim victory?
“From the peace and faith of the Amana Colony to the confusion and conflict
of the Civil War, Melanie Dobson paints a spellbinding picture of a peaceful
people struggling to mend a country that has torn itself apart. This is a
fascinating and well-researched book written by a master storyteller.
I couldn’t put it down.”
