review 1: A very beautiful story about the Amana community. I find their style of living very fascinating.This story took place during the Civil War. Some of main characters' lives were directly involved,one of the main characters,Friedrich joined the Union because he wanted to help those who couldn't help themselves-to help free the slaves. Be ready for the tissue box..Friedrich is killed in the war, leaving his wife to be-Amalie,waiting for him to return to be married.There is more to this story,but I will not spoil it. Melanie Dobson has become one of my favorite authors, I love the way she writes. The history in relation to the Amanas and the Civil War in this story was awesome-it kept me turning the pages, to find out what happens next, and the characters and places felt so re... moreal to me,I felt like I was there. I hope that Ms.Dobson continues to write more books on the Amanas and the Amish. I am always on the look-out for books written on The Amanas,The Quakers,and The Shakers.
review 2: This was a very good read. The characters are easy to fall in love with and you feel their struggles. Amalie is one of the main characters. She is a stong, hardworking woman. She feels pain and disappointment but she doesnt give in to any of it. Even though the book is somewhat predictable, it does NOT make the book any less enjoyable. I love that the characters turn to God to seek guidance and comfort. It is a page turner for sure. If you enjoy a true love story, this is a definite read. less
