Product Description

Readers loved Rachel’s Secret, the first book in BJ Hoff’s wildly popular new series, The Riverhaven Years, and are eagerly awaiting the continuing story of young Amish widow, Rachel Brenneman, and Irish–American riverboat captain, Jeremiah Gant.

In Where Grace Abides, the compelling second book in the series, Hoff offers her readers an even closer look at the Amish community of Riverhaven and the people who live and love and work there. Secrets, treachery, and persecution are only a few of the challenges that test Rachel’s faith and her love for the forbidden “outsider,” while Gant’s own hopes and dreams are dealt a life–changing blow, rendering the vow he made to Rachel seemingly impossible to honor.

Many of the other characters first introduced in Rachel’s Secret now find their gentle, unassuming lives of faith jeopardized by a malicious outside influence. At the same time, those striving to help runaway slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad face deception and the danger of discovery.

All the elements readers have come to expect from author BJ Hoff (romance, drama, great characters) join together in Where Grace Abides to fill the pages with a tender, endearing love story and a bold, inspiring journey of faith.

INTRIGUING!!!!
B. J. Hoff writes with such tenderness, grace, and depth, that you are consumed with her books, from the very beginning. Her characters are "IMPOSSIBLE" to forget. Needless to say, they are intriguing!!! This is where her talent exceeds most writers. The only problem I have; is the stories are so wonderful, I read them to fast, and can't wait for the next book.
This being the 2nd of the series, I suggest very strongly, to read the 1st one. So, you will have the full enjoyment of the story line. You won't be sorry. :)

I'm not really a huge fan of the whole Amish fiction trend, but BJ's Amish series is just fabulous.

Not the normal bonnet type books at all. Great suspense, characters that are just mysterious enough that you have to know more, and really interesting story twists!!

Tender Love Story
Rachel and Jeremiah plan to marry just as soon as they can obtain permission from Bishop Graber for Jeremiah to become Amish. Rachel has been waiting for Jeremiah to bring her the news, but for some reason he seems to be avoiding her. Has he changed his mind about loving her? She'd go talk to him, but her church has forbidden them to see each other.
Jeremiah has his own problems. Bishop Graber has rejected his request because he believes Jeremiah doesn't really want to become Amish, he just wants to marry Rachel. Also, Jeremiah is involved in helping runaway slaves which would be frowned on by the church if they knew. Someone is harrassing the Amish community with deadly results, and Rachel and Jeremiah could be in danger as they struggle to solve the mystery. B.J. Hoff has written a multi-layered story about a man and a woman who must learn to trust God to lead them through faith. Rich in conflict and emotion.
