About this listen
Rachel Weaver Mason is finally going home to Deer Run, the Amish community she left behind so many years ago. Recently widowed, she wants desperately to create a haven for herself and her young daughter.
But the community, including Rachel's family, is anything but welcoming. The only person happy to see her is her teenage brother, Benjamin, and he's protecting a dark secret that endangers them all.
Determined to keep Benjamin safe from a suspected killer, Rachel has no choice but to turn to the one man she wanted to get as far away from as possible. Colin McDonald was her late husband's friend, and the man who came between them. He's never forgotten her and would do anything to keep her and her family safe.
Rachel doesn't know if she can trust Colin, or her growing feelings for him. But as they hunt for the killer, the tension between them builds and soon both their lives, and their hearts, are on the line.

Sarah Kauffman sought permission from her church elders to paint murals on a few of the Amish community's barns. Each was designed like an old-fashioned quilt square, representing a piece of the Amish traditions Sarah loved. The works of art were intended to draw more tourists to the Home Valley in the struggling economy. But instead, they invited a menace. One by one, each barn is set ablaze and destroyed.…The arson fires spread fear through the community - amongst Amish and Englischers alike. Now Sarah wonders if she's being punished for her pridefulness…or whether there's a more malevolent will at work.

young woman faces adversity
- By Judith L. Johnson on 11-05-17
What made the experience of listening to Home by Dark the most enjoyable?
It was a completely different story line than I'm used to (for an Amish story) and I loved it.What did you like best about this story?
What I was sure of at the beginning, I wasn't so sure later on. I'm referring to which of the brothers Rhoda would choose.Which scene was your favorite?
I loved the fact that she was accepted completely in one community even though she was branded in another (both being Amish) and given a chance.Any additional comments?
I loved the book.Great listen
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Eliza Foss does a great job with the performance of the book. She was the reason I decided to "read" the book again.
Great mystery!
