Plain Missing

When the young gather to sing, it's usually an evening of wholesome fun--but this time, the event has stirred whispers of scandal. Elsie Hostetler and her sweetheart, Dathan Bender, never came home afterward.

Among the simple houses and quiet country roads of Stone Mill, Rachel must find out just what kind of sins have been committed--and who is need of forgiveness . . .
