review 1: There were too many unrealistic responses by characters in this book 1. The parents lack of worry/outrage/questions at their daughters physical and emotional condition when she unexpectedly arrives home before completing her much fought for opportunity to attend school and study music among the English, 2. The uncharacteristic meanness and hatefulness/pettiness of the older brother and his wife, and 3. The young man who loves her has the patience and determination to wait for her, but not the willingness to verify from her directly whether or not she is with an Englisher and, worse, that he would believe that she had an illegitimate child. These flaws were so distracting to me that I nearly missed the heart and message of this book.
review 2: I read the Kindle ... moreversion of this book. After 25%, I thought how is the author going to make this story into a full book? I wasn't disappointed. I loved the characters and the bible scriptures in this book. Kate and Nathaniel are two characters that have an unwavering devotion to their faith. I don't know a lot about Amish culture, but it did surprise me with Aaron and Ada's behavior. I loved how Kate and Nathaniel challenge Aaron and Ada's interpretation of the scriptures. Nathaniel's mother is a surprise character. I love when she confesses why she feels the way she does about Kate and Nathaniel. I would read more books by this author because I liked this book so well. less
