When David's mother arrives, uninvited, more upheaval is in store. She has matchmaking plans for everyone in the family, including David and her eligible granddaughters--and especially for David's niece Abigail. When Abigail stumbles onto a curious connection during her genealogical research, it could help David solve one problem--but will it create another?

My Review:
This is book two in the Bishops Family series. To be fully appreciated I think they need to be read in order. The first has the background on David, his family, and the church situation. There is a lot going on in this book. There are many characters and plots. The main plot is still concerning the church situation. David is the father of the Stoltzfus family and is a minister of an Amish church. One of the other church leaders is corrupt and leading the church astray. David is standing up to him as much as possible but it makes life hard on his family. The title of the book comes from when the Amish church has to away a leader's job. The big question throughout the book is will this happen and to who? David has a love interest in Birdy who is the sister to the corrupt church leader. His niece Abigail comes to visit and do research on her genealogy project. Her studies and relationship with Dane are the other focus of the book. I enjoyed reading this book even with the serious undertones of the church issues The characters and plot were well developed and interesting. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Highly Recommended.
