This was the first book I have read by this author and it was a very good book, well written and easy to foloow along. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
I didn't care for this book. It was unbelievable although I later discovered the author is ex-Amish. Too many details about the tractor, sewing machine and an unhealthy focus on money. The ending was awful in that you are forced to read the next book to find out what happens.
Great Amish fiction. Loved this book.
A quick rdad which gived you s glimpse into Amish society. Similiar to Beverly lewis novels I enjlyed this first book of a trilogy.
A slow read, but good book as is all the Amish books in my opinion, too much emphasis on detailing certain things, leaving you thinking...."OK so?" or just get on with the story. Still reading this one, so will have a better opinion once I read the other ones.
This is a very good book with good character development. I like that there are essentially two main stories ongoing throughout the book.
I can see why M-Jay left all his of his estate to his sister and not to his children if they're all as greedy as Rachel. One would wonder if she ever did love her husband at all. If my aunt was ill and dying, my concern would be about losing her and seeing to her needs, not about what I hoped to inherit. Emma seems like a sensible, loving person and a shrewd businesswoman.
Luke seems like a good person and would have a better life if he would get away from his mother's clutches. Rachel seems to never be satisfied with anything and impossible to please.
John seems like a nice enough fellow, but has a controlling and jealous streak a mile wide. One can't blame Rebecca for being concerned about his attitude.
