Against the peaceful night sky, a barn burns.…
Sarah Kauffman sought permission from her church elders to paint murals on a few of the Amish community's barns. Each was designed like an old-fashioned quilt square, representing a piece of the Amish traditions Sarah loved. The works of art were intended to draw more tourists to the Home Valley in the struggling economy. But instead, they invited a menace. One by one, each barn is set ablaze and destroyed.…The arson fires spread fear through the community - amongst Amish and Englischers alike. Now Sarah wonders if she's being punished for her pridefulness…or whether there's a more malevolent will at work.
As an outsider, arson investigator Nate MacKenzie struggles to investigate the crime scenes while adhering to Amish ways. With Sarah as his guide, he warms to the Plain People and their simple ways. As the fires rage, beliefs are challenged, a way of life is questioned and family secrets are exposed. In the aftermath of the destruction the people of the Home Valley must join together to raise their barns and their hopes for the future.

Also, the author did a very good job at weaving a believable main character and making you unsure just how the story was going to end because of the conflicts going on in her life.
My only wish was that we could have seen more of it from Nate's perspective so we could get to know him a bit better. We did see a bit, but it would have been great if there had been more!

Sweet... maybe a little too sweet. The ending was predictable midway through the book but I still listened to the end. The writing is pretty good and the story is quite slow paced but is in keeping with the Amish lifestyle.If your looking for action and adventure... this isn't the book for you. However... if your in the mood for relaxing and innocence then it's perfect.
I did enjoy the book, in spite of the drawn out innocence and nativity of the main character.
Sweet and innocent

The Audible version of Fall from Pride by Karen Harper was a good listen. I always enjoy an Amish mystery, and Fall From Pride was no exception. In fact, the characters and mystery seemed more real than in other Amish mysteries that I’ve read. I imagine that the inclusion of some modern ways and attitudes might be more reflective of Amish life in 2015, although I don’t know if that’s true or not. In any event, Karen Harper wrote an engaging mystery that I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely a good listen!Good Amish Mystery

Gracie Peter's performance for sure but I love the story. Keeps me very interested.What was one of the most memorable moments of Fall from Pride?
Nate swimming in the pond for his quick bath and being teased by Sarah.Have you listened to any of Gracie Peters’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No and I LOVE her. After listening to a BORING performer to this it is so refreshing.If you could rename Fall from Pride, what would you call it?
