review 1: I'm a sucker for Amish novels, but this one left me wishing for the end well before it arrived. The backstory is fascinating: planting an Amish mission in Honduras and the external and internal conflicts it sparked. For example, if a church wants to reach out to the community, do they continue to hold services in a language that the community cannot speak? Otherwise, the story moved in several directions and that was distracting. Some key events arrived with little explanation while some smaller events got extended attention. I was honestly surprised at the end to learn that the author is a well-published writer.
review 2: A very pleasant tale about growing up in an Amish family that spends 8 years in Honduras and describes the meeting of two dissimilar cultu... moreres in a rural part of that country . Something of a shock I should imagine to many of the adults but to a young boy with considerable freedom it seems to have been wonderful. A surprise was the amount of thievery the relatively well to do Amish experienced fom the locals and the lengths a peaceful group had to go to try to protect themselves not always successfully. less
