An Artist Seeks Her Birth Mother

A piano teacher and artist, Andrea Wagner has a fascination with painting the rural Amish landscapes around her home in Apple Creek, Ohio. She has made it to her thirties feeling like she has had a charmed life and finally has fallen in love with Brandon Prentice, a local veterinarian. But then she discovers she was adopted—and all she thought she knew about herself has crumbled. Andrea becomes so fixated on finding her birth mother that she pushes Brandon away, so she writes to the “Dear Caroline” column in the newspaper for romance advice. What will Andrea lose before she finds herself again?

Wanda’s Willkum

Welcome to my writing world. It is my hope that you will not only enjoy a good story when reading one of my books, but will learn more about the Amish way of life.

Writing about the Amish fills my heart with joy and peace. I hope reading about the Amish will do that for you as well.

Mitt Lieb, (With love),
