About this ebook
In this captivating follow-up to Searching for Rose, author Dana Becker tells the tale of a young woman who finds refuge from a dark past in Pennsylvania Amish country. But as she strives to create a new life, and possibly a new love, she finds her escape from danger has only just begun . . .
In a bucolic cabin in Pennsylvania Amish country, Rose lives with her older sister, April, and
brother-in-law, Joseph. It’s a blessedly quiet life, far from the trauma of Rose’s past, a nightmare that began with a mob kidnapping and ended with Rose becoming brainwashed by a cult—until April tracked her down and rescued her. Now, the daily rhythms of Joseph’s Amish community have become part of Rose’s healing process, as has her growing attachment to charismatic, protective Micah. But as Rose struggles to trust again, there are new developments in the search for her kidnapper . . .
As far as Rose is concerned, she’s told the authorities all she knows and she wants, needs, to be left alone. But when the police reveal a shocking new lead in the case, it flips a switch within Rose. Her experiences in captivity triggered a clairvoyant ability—a gift she finds terrifying, but that the police are determined to use in their investigation. Despite her own fears and her family’s wishes, Rose joins the search for a madman. Now she will risk finding out if the ghosts of the past will shut her down forever—or give her new strength and the faith to forge a new future . . .
“The combination of Amish romance and suspense feels fresh.”

Normally I dislike giving negative reviews but in this case, I feel like I was tricked into this book. Finding Rose is not what I expected. It is a combination of dark thriller, horror, and suspense with a weird romance tossed in along with a hint of paranormal. This is not an Amish story. The cover is very misleading. Rose is not Amish, nor does she dress Amish (nor does she plan on becoming Amish). Her sister, April became Amish by marrying. The cover CLEARLY is Amish but the girl in that doorway is NOT Rose; perhaps it’s her sister April. Rose is not Amish — has no plans to be Amish — and doesn’t wear Amish clothing. I thought I’d be reading a book about how the Amish community helped Rose put the dark past behind her. There was no Amish community per se in this story. I would never have requested the book if I had known the darkness that was central to the entire story. I found it to be strange, odd and deceiving based on the cover with very little mention of the Amish. I struggled to get through it I was given a complimentary copy of this book to review.

Finding Rose by Dana Becker is not what I expected. It is a combination of dark thriller, horror, and suspense with a weird romance tossed in along with a hint of paranormal. This is not an Amish story. The cover is very misleading. I do not like the writing style or the characters. Finding Rose is a dark, twisty tale with a rescued Rose, a charming carpenter, a concerned sister, a peaceful farm, a maniac madman, a missing maedel, and a curious crime.
