My Review on The Brides Of The Big Valley this book is about three romances and Amish families. There are three different Amish communities and one is called the yellow topers,and they are more progressive and then there's black topers they are more stricter and the the white topers they are more conservative. One of these story in this book reminded of me. The girl name in this story is called Leila Fisher. She is on the shy side. She worked in her mother store making cards. When she was in school she would seat off from the rest of kids at recess and when she got close to some one her nerves would be racing . She had a hard time social interaction. She also got very nerves. I get the same when comes going some where new or around lot of people my heart racing and I always afraid of say something wrong. Leila didn't go to the singing must young Amish go to but her mother ask please go to one for her so she did and come to find out it wasn't that bad. She run in to some she went to school with name Samuel he pick on her when they went to school together.She also meet a friend there to name Sue she was getting ready to put the food out and Leila ask if she need any help so Leila help set up the food and they got to talking Sue ask Leila if she been to one of these sinning before. Sue was from the yellow topers. Sue bother seen his sister talking to a girl he thought was cute so he walk over to were his sister was and introduce him to her. Is name was Aden. Leila stared to get nerves and she getting sweaty hands when talking to Aden. After the sinning Aden try to find out where Leila lived because he really like talking to her. So one day he stop by the shop Leila work at to talk to her. He you the excuse that is want some stamp to make some cards. The two of them began talking and Leila felt comfortable talking to him but to find what with the two of you need to pick a copy of The Brides of the Big Valley I would give ten stared a really good book.
