Twenty-year-old Ariana Brenneman loves her family and the Old Ways. She has two aspirations: open a café in historic Summer Grove to help support her family's ever-expanding brood and keep any other Amish from being lured into the Englisch life by Quill Schlabach. Five years ago Quill and her dear friend, Frieda, ran off together, and Ariana still carries the wounds of that betrayal. When she unexpectedly encounters him, she soon realizes he has plans to help someone else she loves leave the Amish.
Despite how things look, Quill's goal has always been to protect Ariana from anything that may hurt her, including the reasons he left.

His love and loyalty to her beckons him to try to win her trust and help her find a way to buy the café - because when she learns the truth that connects her and a stranger named Skylar Nash, Quill knows it may upend her life forever.
Members Reviews:
excellent! I can't wait for the next installment
If you could sum up Ties That Bind in three words, what would they be?
touching - thought provoking - complex
What was one of the most memorable moments of Ties That Bind?
The last scene with Arianna in the cafe and leaving with Nicholas and Brandi. She finds peace in seeing that she can be God's instrument of grace for them.
Which character as performed by Stina Nielsen was your favorite?
Stina did a wonderful job on all of the characters, but Arianna is my favorite. I will be looking for more books narrated by her.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
well, i listen during my daily commute, so I was forced to stop, but I didn't want to!
I loved this book!
Cindy Woodsmall just has a way of touching every human emotion with her books and Ties That Bind is no exception. I didn't want to stop listening! The few times I had to take a break, I was almost mad because I wanted to know what would happen next. The narrator does an excellent job capturing the heart of each character. You won't be disappointed!
Must be a part 2 at some point???
Do you think Ties That Bind needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, it just ended. I was shocked to hear "the end" and disappointed to not have any resolution. Now it'll probably be a year at least for a second book, if there is one, to be on audio. Wish I hadn't spent my credit on a book that didn't really end.
A Realist Portrayal of Amish Life
Where does Ties That Bind rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
Overall I think this book is one of the best I have heard. I believe that Ariana and Quill interactions were believable. However, the other characters' dialogue was a bit boring and predictable.In contrast, Woodsmall did her homework which made the story for me and other individuals who have intimate knowledge of the Amish, believable and engaging a majority of the time,. The themes were thoughtful and the book made this reader questioned some of her reactions to the Amish when one of their group decides to leave.
