This novel is so unique in the Amish fiction genre. The pages kept turning and the more I read the more I was hooked into the storyline. Not only does it incorporate the lives of the Amish (for what the author is known to portray well) but strongly adds the element concept of bringing into the picture the lives of the English. A very original, fresh, down to earth and creative read with well developed, realistic and personable characters will keep the reader entertained and satisfied. I love the book cover and it seems to portray the characters acurately. Book has some twists and turns, loved the ending! I found the overall message to be inspiring and would highly recommend this book to others. Very well written! Thanks to Barbour Publishing for this review copy for my review.
