Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Lancaster County Second Chances 2

52/100
👎 Skip It
Two widowed characters find their way toward a second marriage, complicated by a disowned sister hiding a secret after leaving with an outsider during Rumspringa. There's decent emotional stakes around shunning and family loyalty, but it's marketed as 'best-selling' without independent reviews to back that up, and the execution reads as standard genre fare.
