Query: Interesting details but cardboard plot

The author definitely knows Amish details. But in my opinion these were "two-dimensional" novels that could have been so much richer. Furthermore, the likelihood of those events coming together--the unlikely adoption, the true love not really drowning in the ocean but reappearing five years later, the main heroine becoming the mistress of a manor--made these more Christian-styled "soap opera" books than good, richly styled novels.
