In this first book of a three-book series, author Vannetta Chapman brings a fresh twist to the popular Amish fiction genre. She blends the familiar components consumers love in Amish books—faith, community, simplicity, family—with an innovative who-done-it plot that keeps readers guessing right up to the last stitch in the quilt. When two women—one Amish, one English—each with different motives, … motives, join forces to organize a successful on-line quilt auction, neither expects nor wants a friendship. As different as night and day, Deborah and Callie are uneasy partners who simply want to make the best of a temporary situation. But a murder, a surprising prime suspect, a stubborn detective, and the town’s reaction throw the two women together, and they form an unlikely alliance to solve a mystery and catch a killer. Set in the well-known Amish community of Shipshewana, Falling to Pieces will attract both devoted fans of the rapidly-growing Amish fiction genre, as well as those who are captivated by the Amish way of life.

Oh Vannetta, Vannetta, Vannetta. You have yet to disappointment me. And because I can’t dig up even a twitch of disappointment I’ve having a hard time settling into this review. Have you ever noticed that I only have a hard time writing the review if I’ve read the book? I feel like I frequently find myself in this situation, and complaining …
Actually I am reading this book at this time. I am enjoying it very much and it is hard to put down.
This book is different from the typical Amish romance. Characters are both Amish and “English” and it is a good mix. Interesting characters and a well-defined mystery.
Well written choreography of characters, places, past, present and future. I want to read more to learn about this place and the people who live here. I can’t wait to find out what happens to Calli and her friends. But I’m satisfied to know her current predicament is reaolved.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed the characters, and how the Omish and the English got along so well together. They helped each other and found out that working together they truly become best friends!
I really liked it and plan to read much more books by this author
