Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Amish Secrets and Lies 3-Book Collection

54/100
👎 Skip It
A three-book bundle following a teen wrestling with compulsive lying, family exile, and eventually a suspected arson — there's a real emotional arc here about honesty and belonging. It's clean, faith-centered fare, but the dossier only gives me marketing synopses to go on, so I'm calling it solid-but-unremarkable rather than a must-read.
