review 1: This is my third LFY book and they have all been totally different but very enjoyable. The parallel story lines in this book between Caroline and Lydia are very well done. The contrast between the Amish couple and the "Englisher" couple is also good. Great to see how the two cultures complimented one another and that the two women and two men could become such good friends. Looking forward to reading another LFY soon.
review 2: From the very first page, it became clear to me that I was definitely going to enjoy this story. I had a wonderful time with some of these characters in Annalisa's previous LFY book that was set in Charm, Ohio, and I was so happy that their story was continued here.One thing that completely surprised me was how much this was more a
... morecontemporary tale than an Amish one. It's no secret that I love almost every single Amish book I pick up, and while this one was minimally Amish, it made it no less a great read. I found myself caught up in the public turmoil that Caroline's husband had put her through, and craved the peace that she ultimately found in Lancaster. I was equally caught up in Lydia Ann's story as she struggled with the major decision of relocating to Lancaster from Charm. And if those things weren't enough to keep me glued to the pages, there was a little twist that showed up about halfway through, and by that time, I had no intentions of setting this book down!Another thing that I was impressed was the setting itself. Because so many Amish stories are set in this area, there's not a whole lot left to feature in yet another book set in Lancaster....but don't let that stop you from giving it a try (it didn't stop me). :o) I could easily visualize the covered bridges that Michael and Caroline visited, as well as the restaurants and taverns that they visited with Simon and Lydia Ann, and there was just enough to have me itching to go there and see all of it for myself.And lest I get too carried away with any more details, I'll leave this review with one final note. This was the third book that I've read by Annalisa, and while I was impressed with all the details that are mentioned above, what impressed me the most was that I could tell that she has grown as an author. I won't lie...the first book I read by her wasn't a favorite of mine, but I'm a big proponent of giving authors a second chance to make a first impression. And now having read two more books of hers since then, I can say without a doubt that I will be purposefully going out of my way to read more of her books down the road. (That might have a little something to do with all these *Southern* books she's got coming up here shortly...) :o) less

This was a different take on a story about the Amish because one of the main characters is English.
