I had my reservations, but it held my interest and I loved how the story was pulled together in the end. A good read

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first choose to deceive. I always wondered how a child of adoption might feel with many unanswered questions. In this story we follow Lexie as she tries to learn who her birth parents were and why they chose to give her up for adoption. True, there were many twists and turns in this tale but in the end, each chose to finally reveal the facts. Most delightful story. I found the box, where the top had been carved to reveal a house, a waterfall, and pine trees most intriguing....and in the box a letter written in Swiss-German.

I didn't really care for this book. It didn't really seem amish to me because the plot was more like a soap opera!! It took awhile to get through it. Some of the characters were captivating, but the ending was absolutely wierd/strange/bordering outrageous.
