Guideposts Books is excited to announce the premiere of a new film based on the book Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Ohio (Summerside Press) by Serena Miller.
The movie, produced by Mission Pictures International and filmed last
fall in the actual town of Sugarcreek, will premiere on Sunday, June 1,
2014 at 7:00 PM EDT on Up TV (formerly the Gospel Music Channel). Visit the movie website for more information.
The story:
A mysterious outsider casts a long shadow on Ohio's Amish country.
Policewoman Rachel Troyer has always looked after her three elderly
Amish aunts, proprietors of a farmhouse inn near Sugarcreek, Ohio. The
idyllic town is popular with tourists, who come to sample its famous
Amish goods. But one thing is clear to Rachel --- Joe Matthews is no
tourist. When the bearded stranger lands on her aunts' doorstep, begging
shelter for himself and his young son, Rachel is suspicious.
Will she be able to uncover Joe's secrets despite her aunts' --- and her own --- growing affection for him?
My review: This was an intriguing story that had one surprise after another! I loved all of the characters, from protective Rachel to her wonderful aunts to Joe and his adorable son. It had mystery, some romance and suspense all wrapped up in a story equally Amish and English. It even had some humor as Joe learns to milk a cow and catch a horse! I liked that the good and bad sides of the Amish life are discussed and that most of the story is told from the perspective of the tough and independent Rachel. Faith is an important element to the story and I hope the upcoming movie does the book justice. I'm looking forward to seeing it on June 1st on the UP channel! I would recommend the book for people who like Amish or romance stories.
I received this book free from Litfuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.
