review 1: I really enjoy these Amish tales. This one concerns an Amish girl and a Mennonite boy who are friends but eventually realize they love each other. The story around them and their families makes for really good historical fiction; it's not designated as that but you won't find me quibbling (it's designated as Christian fiction). Reading about another culture is always enlightening and a learning experience.
review 2: I enjoyed this installment of the series very much. My favorite remains the original, The Amish Midwife, but this and the previous novel, The Amish Bride, captivated my interest. One thing I appreciate about this series is its emphasis on the characters depending on God for guidance. Religion is about dos and don'ts. Faith is about love and trust,... more making choices out of love for God, not out of obligation. I had a lot of respect for Izzy's parents realizing it was more important for her to follow God's lead than for her to make their original dreams for her reality. Few parents I know are able to step out of themselves long enough to see that. Also, I enjoyed the Native history included in this novel. As many tribes as I have researched over the years, I guess I didn't realize the Amish had any involvement with native peoples. All in all, I would highly recommend this book. less
