Quilt by Association


Book Description

"Anton Bierken has returned to Sugarcreek to attend his mother's funeral. He was shunned a decade ago after the suspicious disappearance of a teenage Amish girl he liked. While the girl's parents, and the community, suspected Anton of foul play, the police lacked the evidence to arrest him. When Levi allows Anton to stay in their dawdy haus, Cheryl is more than a little worried - especially when another teen girl vanishes after Anton's arrival. Has the girl simply run away, or has something more sinister transpired? Meanwhile, Cheryl entertains Sharon Vogel, a gifted quilter from Lancaster County whose quilts Cheryl wants to sell at the Swiss Miss. However, when local stores experience a wave of peculiar thefts - including one of Sharon's valuable quilts - Cheryl finds herself embroiled in two mysteries instead of one. Or are they somehow related?"--Page [4] of cover.
