Daybreak by Shelley Shepard Gray

The first thing you will notice about Daybreak is the beautiful cover. It will capture your attention with the vibrant colors and make you want to jump right into the story. Well it did to me at least. Admittedly, I would have read this regardless of what the cover looked like because with a Shelley Shepard Gray book I know what is in store for me; a page turner that will keep me up late at night and leave me super antsy for the next installment! The cover scene adds an air of mystery to the book. I wonder who or what they are looking at off in the distance. We are introduced to the Keims of Berlin, Ohio, who are an Amish family with one too many secrets that have been buried for years. One particular secret involving the family matriarch is exposed and leaves the family reeling with shock. This in turn opens the door for even more shocking revelations. Each family member is left to deal with the realization that all is not what it has appeared to be. Such drama, indeed! Shelley takes us on quite the adventure or I should say a whirlwind of emotions. You will laugh, maybe shed some tears, be swept up in a budding romance but most of all you will be fascinated with the not so simple life of one very unique Amish family. A family that sure looks perfect and plain to outsiders except sometimes the “simple life” is not so simple after all.
