Henry Braun is on a mission. He has to find Marie Quinn and her daughter, Beth, to inform them of an inheritance. Marie’s Aunt Lisabeth is dead, and she left her home and café to Beth, with a condition that she live there for at least six months.  

 

Marie left the Mennonite community when she fell in love with a young truck driver. Her family disowned her and won't welcome her back. When they arrived in Sommerfield, Beth is horrified to discover there isn’t any electricity, people dress funny, and Main Street isn’t even paved. How can she manage to live here for six months?

 

Marie is torn by this homecoming. Memories of all she left behind, including Henry Braun, almost overwhelm her. In addition, someone is stealing antiques from the Mennonite homes and as outsiders, she and Beth are suspected of  being the thieves.  

 

Bygones is a heart touching story of new beginnings and old memories. And of a love too strong to die. Kim Vogel Sawyer always tells a good story with plenty of emotion and conflict. Bygones is book one of the Sommerfield trilogy. I’m looking forward to books two and three.
