But he is not the only man vying for Jenny’s affections, and Jenny faces many challenges in the Proving time the brethren have set for her…challenges of the heart, as well as the spirit.

Summary
Beverly Lewis continues to write Amish novels with strong story lines. The Secret Keeper, makes a connection back to her very first Amish novel, The Shunning, with the Rebecca and Samuel Lapp and their shunned daughter Katie Lapp Fischer. When Englisher, Jennifer Burns moves on her lifelong desire to live a more simple life, Rebecca and Samuel Lapp open their home to her.

The reader gets to witness resolution to some longtime open wounds in the Amish community of Hickory Hollow, while at the same time, empathizing with Jennifer's struggles to put all things English behind her.
