Cara Bentley, a romance novelist, is surprised when she finds a document among her late grandparents' possessions that indicates her grandfather was adopted. Why had she never heard this before? Cara's quest for her roots takes her to Bird-in-Hand, a quaint Amish town in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she takes a room on the Zook farm-first introduced in The Key. But in the face of a closed Plain society, her search seems destined for failure. If not for the money in John Bentley's will, would anyone care where Cara came from? Will she ever discover her grandfather's heritage? Will she ever know her own?

Author · 23 books
Gayle Roper rejoices every day that she gets to be a writer because she's in love with story. Even on the days that words rebel and have to be coerced onto the paper, there is nothing else she'd rather do. When readers like her work, it's like God says, "See? I knew what you were wired to do." When her books win awards like the Carol Award (Caught Redhanded) or the RITA Award (Autumn Dreams), the Holt Medallion (The Decision, Caught in a Bind, Autumn Dreams) or the Reviewer's Choice (The Decision), it's icing on the cake. And she gets to teach others how to write at conferences too. She spends a lot of time smiling. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Romance Writers of America and is the best-selling author of Hide & Seek and more than forty other books.
