The Winnowing Season by Cindy Woodsmall

The Winnowing Season is book 2 of the series Amish Vines and Orchards. I think the reader would enjoy this book more if they read the books in order. This book picks up from where A Season for Tending left off. In the first book a tornado came through and destroyed all the orchards on the King family properties. Half of the King family which consists of siblings Samuel, Jacob and Leah decides to establish orchards at a foreclosed farm in Maine. The Bylers are Rhoda and her brother and his family. Rhoda has a gift from God of seeing things. In her community this gift is looked upon as a curse. By moving to Maine Rhoda hopes to leave her past behind and establish a new life but troubles soon follow. Something happens and she is falsely accused of something that she did not do. Both of the King brothers are in love with her, however one of the brothers who keeps company with her most in the book is distracted helping out an Englisher woman who was from his past. I think she has feelings for both and it will be interesting to see which brother she will finally give her heart to in the third and final book which is due to come out in the fall.
