Welcome to Parke County, Indiana,
land of peaceful farms and covered bridges,
Amish quilts and horse drawn buggies . . . and murder.
After years of running, Hannah Schwartz has finally built a life for herself. Far from the insecure husband who bullied and abused her. Far from the close-knit Amish community who raised her, then shunned her. Still haunted by nightmare memories of her parents' murder . . . and the guilty secret that made her an anathema. . . from her friends and family. Only love can bring her home again. Love for a child she had feared was lost forever. And love for the peaceful people who shaped her life.

Beyond a Doubt (2004)
Bree Nichols' husband and son were lost in a deadly plane crash in the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. She and her search-and-rescue dog Samson scoured miles of wilderness territory in a desperate attempt to find them alive. Miraculously, she found her son. But it was too late for her husband. Now, Bree is finally beginning to settle back into the routine of life in the quiet town of Rock Harbor.
She struggles daily to rebuild her relationship with her son Davy who seems to blame her for not finding his father in time. In an effort to take her mind off her grief, Bree embarks on a basement remodeling project with the help of her friend Kade, the area forest ranger.
When they knock out a wall and uncover a skeleton, Bree finds herself drawn into a decades-old missing person's investigation. Her hopes for quiet routine are further shattered by frightening personal attacks: a fire in her basement in the very place where the body was found, unexplained break-ins, and a sniper with deadly intent. Desperate to find some answers and to protect her family, Bree works feverishly to find out who is after her, and why.
Beyond a Doubt is a novel that skillfully combines the elements of mystery and romance with the day-to-day happenings of life in a small-town and the challenges and rewards of family relationships.
