Woven in Control
(2026)(The eighth book in the Alex Allin Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Gracie Gann
Five lives. One secret. No time left.
Quilt appraiser Alex Allin comes to Lancaster County to examine an antique quilt. Her snack-loving cavapoo Saedie finds something else first—a wary barn dog guarding five puppies, and a 160-year-old witness record tied to the Underground Railroad. Days later, the Beiler family's barn is hit with an inspection notice and a boundary dispute timed to erase it from the map.
Journalist Justin Case digs through the paperwork. The Granny Squad works their own sources. Alex starts pulling the thread—and finds the law meant to save these farms is the same one being used to take them.
A Trust representative appears wherever pressure rises, while a heritage consultant insists she’s helping, even though her application names the wrong properties.
When the barn is damaged and the puppies are put in danger, a competing heritage filing starts a ten day countdown. Alex must prove the record is authentic before procedure finishes what force could not. If she fails, four families will lose land their ancestors risked everything to protect, and history’s forgotten voices go silent again.
Woven in Control is the second book in the Lancaster trilogy and perfect for fans of clean, faith filled cozy mysteries, Amish country intrigue, lovable canine sidekicks, found family sleuthing, and secrets stitched into the past. Includes an Amish shoofly pie recipe and a quilt block pattern!
