This book absolutely deserves 5 stars! It is no wonder it won the RITA award for best romance 1989. (One of four that this author has won. She is that good.) It is a very emotional, heart wrenching story that will hook you right away. A must read for any romance booklover. Written long before the Amish romance genre burst into popularity, it tells the compelling story of an English girl and an Amish boy who grew up together as neighbors.Cheryl Reavis makes her characters come alive. You feel like you know them so well.You won't forget them. This one stays on my keeper shelf so that I can revisit the characters whenever I want. If you enjoy a captivating story this "oldie but goodie" is an example of how a truly gifted writer can mesmerize you with an spellbinding story. Read it---and it will truly touch your heart.
