Found By Shelly Shepard Gray

A murder is solved and a quiet Amish community must deal with the repercussions. Amid the surprising revelations, can a newfound love survive?
As the search for Perry Borntrager's killer continues, Jacob Schrock feels like his world is about to crumble. Right before Perry went missing, he and Jacob got into a fistfight. Jacob never told anyone what happened that terrible night. He's good at keeping secrets—including his love for Deborah, Perry's sister. But when Deborah takes a job at his family's store and their friendship blossoms, Jacob senses everything is about to be revealed.  
Deborah has been searching for a slice of happiness ever since her brother's body was discovered. When the police start questioning Jacob, Deborah can't believe that the one person she's finally allowed in could be the one responsible for her brother's death. Will she believe what everyone seems to think is the truth . . . or listen to her heart, and hope there is still one more person who is keeping secrets in Crittenden County?

Shelley Shepard Gray lives in southern Ohio and writes full time. A busy wife and mother of two, she spends her days writing and keeping track of her two teenagers. Her two dogs keep her company when she writes in her basement.
Shelley enjoys writing about the Amish and visits Amish communities in Adams and Holmes counties several times a year. When not spending time with her family or writing, she serves on several committees in her church.
She also bakes a lot, loves coconut cream pie, and will hardly ever pull weeds, mow the yard, or drive in the snow.
Shelley also spends a lot of time on line! Please visit her website, www.shelleyshepardgray.com to find out her latest news...or become her friend on FaceBook.


I LOVE Shelly's books and I was very happy to find out who killed Perry! This was a GREAT ending to The Secrets of Crittenden County series. This is a must read for all of you Amish book lovers. I was so happy that Perry's sister found love in the end! You will NEVER guess who Deborah ends up with! If you have read book one and two in the series then you must read book three to find out who the killer was. I really enjoyed this book!

This book was given to me as a gift!

  8. I've been reading Amish fiction since Beverly Lewis wrote her first book, and I don't intend to quit anytime soon! LOL. I love the Christian influence and clean romance, a bit of mystery, family relationships, information regarding Amish practices, good and bad, and never tire of reading a well-written Amish fiction book. I love Shelley's books, and already have a copy of this one, so if I were to win, please pass it on to someone who doesn't have a copy. Thanks, Mary! You're the best!

  13. Reading Amish books has opened up a whole new world to me. I feel as though I am right there living the life and learning how to deal with new, interesting and different experiences each day. It's been a learning experience and making me feel I should slow down and live each day to the fullest in as much of a simple way as possible.

  14. I love Amish books because I admire the way they live. I could sometimes use a simpiler and slower pace of life. They know what is really importmant, not the material things. I think if more people were like them, this would be a whole lot better world. I know have my Mom reading them and she loves them as much as me.

  15. I like Amish books because of the slower pace and the lack of electronic distractions from family and God. They should be top priorities but sometimes things go awry. Sigh. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
