The Amish Clockmaker Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner


What's the book about:
Newlywed Matthew Zook is expanding his family’s tack and feed store when a surprising property dispute puts the remodel on hold—and raises new questions about the location’s mysterious past.

Decades earlier, the same building housed a clock shop run by a young Amish clockmaker named Clayton Raber. Known for his hot temper, Clayton was arrested for the murder of his beloved wife, a crime almost everyone—including his own family members—believed he’d committed, even after charges were dropped. Isolated and feeling condemned by all, Clayton eventually broke from the church, left Lancaster County, and was never heard from again.

Now the only way Matthew can solve the boundary issue and save his family’s business is to track down the clockmaker. But does this put Matthew on the trail of a murderer?
A timeless novel of truth, commitment, and the power of enduring love, where secrets of the past give way to hope for the future


My thoughts on the book:
Its a race against time, money, and technolgy or is it? As Matthew starts a future for his family he has one thing in mind honoring his grandfathers wish, but also honoring what God wants to. Matthew has the simple life in the Amish community, he has family, a wonderful wife, and a new adventure. What he did not expect was that the new adventure would take him and Amanda place neither of them thought they would go. There are three parts to the book in one part you have Matthews and Amanda as they start this journey to uncover some hidden secrets in the community.

Then in part two you have Clayton and his story and his free spirit Miriam. Miriam has plans she wants and shiny things she is ready to go after. Clayton wants to be where he is at and he pines for someone to love him for him. He wants to love like Christ loves us with his every bien. He his faced with so many challenges he is not sure what God is doing or where he is suppose to be in his life. Is he making chooses because he wants them or is he walking through doors God is opening.

In part three it really sums the book up I don't want to go into to much detail because I don't want to give away to much of the last part of the book. I will say this I had a had time putting this book down, and I had a lot of WOW I did not see the coming moments. You will want to grab some tissues cause you are going to need them.
