A Mysterious Disappearance Shakes an Amish Family’s Faith

In book one of A Mifflin County Mystery series, after a night out with her boyfriend, Rosa Petersheim has disappeared from the Big Valley without a trace. Norman Petersheim always considered himself his sister’s protector, and he can't believe she would have left home of her own accord. Clearly, he must have failed her. He throws all he has into helping the authorities search for Rosa, while trying to support his parents and siblings--who are struggling both mentally and physically. Salina Swarey loves Norman and hopes they are headed toward marriage, but his obsession with Rosa’s whereabouts is driving them apart. Can Norman find peace and contentment, even if he never learns where Rosa has gone?

The Protector by Wanda E. Brunstetter is the first book in A Mifflin County Mysteries. The Protector is different from this author’s other Amish novels. The main character is Norman Petersheim who is determined to locate his missing sister, Rosa. We get to see how Rosa’s disappearance affects the family. The Petersheim family are sad and tense. I could certainly understand why Norman’s girlfriend was feeling neglected. The conclusion was unsatisfying because it was incomplete.

This was a sad story of a missing daughter, Rosa. I do want to know myself as to the outcome for Rosa, so I will be reading the next book for sure. I received an ARC from the Publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Loved reading the inspirational and awesome story. When Rosa disappears, it affects the whole family especially Norman who feels as her older brother, he was her protector and does everything he can to find out what happened. Norman's mother's sorrowfulness affects the whole family, Norman's siblings and Norman have to take on not only their responsibilities but also Rosa's. Because of Norman's obsession with finding Rosa, he has hardly any time left for his girlfriend. Highly recommended!
