Vow Of Silence by Melynda Price, Episode 62 Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

This week we read Vow Of Silence by Melynda Price and talk (remotely) about our spotty knowledge of Amish culture, whether Josiah is a good detective and could either of us spot a rug made out of hair.

(Note: The audio on this episode is not up to our usual standards, but it will be fixed by the next episode. Thanks for sticking with us on our first remote outing!)

This episode is brought to you by The Bachelor by Sabrina Jeffries.

From one of the biggest names in historical romance, New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries, comes the second in a sparkling series about an oft-widowed mother’s grown children, who blaze through society in their quest for the truth about their fathers. In the process, they may just find that love can conquer all...even for a headstrong young lady with a scandalous secret to hide.
