"Whispers Down the Lane" by Beverly Lewis

Also in, book 1.

About this book:

"Merry Hanson, heroine of the SummerHill Secrets series, harbors a runaway friend, Lissa, whose father is physically abusing her. When the police arrive, Merry does not turn Lissa in; instead, she confides in an Amish girlfriend, who agrees to hide Lissa in the Amish community. This serene, homespun way of life is a balm for Lissa's wounds, and seeing Lissa's healing and spiritual awakening is a catalyst for Merry's dealing with the death of her twin sister years before. Merry is an appealing, intelligent teenager, compassionate, direct, and unpretentious, and her insights about herself give her character authenticity. Her life comes full circle when she allows herself to grieve for her sister."


 Series: SummerHill Secrets, book 1.

This was a clean tween/teen book, Lissa's dad is the only negative item in this book.
