Synopsis
She left the silence of her community for the noise of the world-and witnessed something she was never meant to see. When Rebecca Lapp returns to her Amish roots in Lancaster County, it's not out of peace-but fear. Haunted by a deadly courtroom incident she can't explain, she seeks refuge in the one place untouched by technology or terror. But danger doesn't stop at the edge of a buggy road. Thomas Miller, a cyber crimes agent posing as a furniture researcher, has one mission: protect the only living witness to a high-tech assassination. But hiding Rebecca among the Plain folk is more complicated than it seems-especially as sparks fly between them, and a killer closes in. As old flames rekindle and secrets unravel, Rebecca finds herself torn between the quiet life she left behind and the pulse-pounding truth threatening everything she loves. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes: the past she thought she buried isn't done with her yet-and neither is the man hunting her. Can faith, love, and tradition withstand a threat born from the darkest corners of the digital age? Plain Witness is a gripping Amish romantic thriller where simplicity collides with surveillance, and one woman must risk everything to bring the truth to light.
