The Haven is a sequel to The Keeper, which was a wonderful story of an Amish family living on Windmill Farm, near the small town of Stoney Ridge, Pennsylvania. This story has many very surprising twists, even from the first page! Sadie, the oldest daughter living in the home with her younger sister (Mary Kate), her widowed father, Amos, and their housekeeper, Fern, has just returned from staying with her older sister, Julia and Julia's husband, Roman, at their home in Ohio. Sadie has returned home with a secret, one not kept for long with a very curious little sister who somehow ferrets out secrets and answers very quickly! It begins by affecting the whole family, then all their friends and neighbors, and all the members of the local Amish community. Sadie feels completely misunderstood and is very sad that her friends have turned against her without even knowing the facts of the situation. Will Stoltz, a young intern to the local Game Warden, has been appointed to keep track of a falcon family which is laying eggs and apparently will raise their new family on the farm. The falcons are an endangered species and have attracted huge public interest in their new habitat and activities. Will, who has some secrets of his own, is invited to live in a small cottage on the farm and, of course, ends up becoming very attracted to Sadie, a girl unlike any other he has ever known in his "English" world. In addition to his "falcon duties" he is ordered to be useful to Amos with the physical labor involved in keeping a farm up to snuff! He has never done physical labor before and has a lot to learn! Gideon (Gid) Smucker is the schoolteacher at Twin Creeks Schoolhouse where Mary Kate (M.K.) is a student.
