A million dollar secret. A forbidden love. A high-stakes road trip through the heart of Amish country. If you think you know Amish fiction, think again. Behind the plain clothes and quiet farms of Pennsylvania, one family hides an underground empire built on loyalty, silence, and secrets. When a risky delivery goes south, three brothers and two sheltered sisters are forced into a dangerous cross-country run. Among them, a young couple defying tradition risks everything to face the dangers together. As state lines blur, so do the truths of their past. Loyalties fracture. Secrets unravel. Redemption hangs in the balance. Lancaster Gold is a heart-wrenching, genre-defying crime thriller about loyalty, risk, redemption, and a love willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Original, deftly crafted, inherently fascinating, and a memorable read from start to finish (and all the more impressive when noting that it is her debut as a novelist), Lancaster Gold artfully showcases author Katia Lebeau's authentic and genuine flair for the kind of narrative driven storytelling skills that will be especially appreciated by readers with an interest in family saga and crime fiction novels that are populated by interesting characters, forbidden love, and unexpected plot twists. Unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections. — Midwest Book Review (Library Bookwatch, July 2025)
