Books like The Missing by Beverly Lewis

In the quiet town of Bird‑in‑Hand, Grace Byler's world falls apart when her mother disappears and family secrets threaten her sense of belonging. Determined to uncover the truth, Grace teams up with Heather Lang—a sister‑in‑law visiting Amish country to honor her deceased mother. Together, their friendship grows as they search for clues, confront a past that shaped their community, and grapple with the stakes of love and faith. The novel follows Grace’s struggle to reconcile hope with heartbreak, the complexities of Amish traditions, and the power of faith to heal. Set in the American Amish heartland, the story explores themes of family, faith, and the search for identity—typical of Beverly Lewis’s Christian domestic fiction. Readers will find an intimate portrait of young women navigating love, duty, and the mystery of a vanished parent, all within a context of pastoral faith and community life.
