This was a great read. There were so many things that I underlined; so many nuggets of goodness that I wanted to remember. I’ve been having luck with my Amish romances lately and it’s been very spiritually uplifting.
One of the best things about this book is how loving the families were. There were challenges and love developing and one of the best things is that there wasn’t an overbearing parent or ordnung in sight. Thinking about it, we really didn’t see any English in this story and yet the oppressive feeling of some Amish stories wasn’t here. These people weren’t stifled by their simple life. They enjoyed it, which made me enjoy it too. And their faith was not just lived out in going to 3-hour church services but in the way they cared for each other, their community, and used the Bible to guide their lives.
