Simple Secrets: The Harmony Series

By Nancy Mehl

Description:

Gracie Temple's uncle left her a house in a rural Mennonite community. Gracie soon learns he secluded himself for years to protect a secret about her own father. Now it's up to Gracie to decide if she'll keep the secret or if she can afford to expose it. Sam Goodrich loves his fruit farm in Harmony, Kansas. But when he meets city-girl Gracie, he begins to wonder if he could leave it behind for a woman who makes him feel things he's never felt before. When someone tries to keep Gracie from discovering the truth behind the secrets, both must decide what's important in life--before it's too late.

Book Takeaway:

Secrets buried alive never die.

Why the author wrote this book:

I loved the idea of evil hiding in a rural Mennonite community. The balance against simplicity and innocence pitted against murder and secrets seemed compelling. And I wanted to create a town where old fashioned values still meant something.
