The Walnut Creek series, published between 2019 and 2020, follows a group of childhood friends in the Amish community of Walnut Creek. The seven books trace these friends as they grow into adulthood and face the kinds of challenges that test even the strongest bonds.
Gray builds the series around the idea that the friends you grow up with shape who you become. Each book focuses on a different member of the group, but the friendships remain central. Titles like The Patient One, The Loyal One, and The Trustworthy One reflect the qualities that define each character.
