Volumes six to ten in New York Times bestselling authors' series for girls ages eleven to fourteen combines contemporary themes with the charm and simplicity of Amish life.

Merry Hanson doesn't know which is worse: harboring a runaway or being interrogated by the police. But when her friend Lissa shows up at the Hanson house bruised and beaten, Merry knows she has to help.

Merry Hanson is sure that staying with Miss Ruby Spindler while her parents are away if the perfect opportunity to learn how "Old Hawk Eyes" knows so much about everyone in SummerHill.

After praying to God to fill the hole in her life left by the death of her twin sister, thirteen-year-old Merry finds an abandoned baby outside her house.

After Merry befriends Elton, an artistically talented boy whom some of her eighth grade classmates call retarded, she must find a way to prove that he is not responsible for the damage at the farm of her Amish friend, Rachel.

Sixteen-year-old Merry Hanson, living amongst the Amish in rural Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, relies on her Christian faith to guide her through such challenging situations as the childhood death of her twin sister, the disappearance of a friend's mother, boy troubles, a skating accident, and her Amish friend's newfound interest in the modern world.

When the wounds from an old tragedy reopen, Merry gradually learns that storms don't last forever and that with God's help she can face the future without her twin sister.

Merry's Amish friend Rachel asks for help with her Rumschpringa, the period in her teen years when she can experiment with the outside world and modern life before deciding to devote herself to Plain living.
