review 1: I have to say that this book wasn't the easiest for me to get through. I am not sure why I had a hard time getting through it but I did. I liked the story and the characters. There were parts in the book that I didn't like and I think they could have done without but all in all it was a good book. I didn't like the ending but that is only because I felt bad for the characters and I wanted so much more for them but that is just what happens to me because I feel like the characters are real.
review 2: This was a very interesting book. I enjoyed reading about Betsie and her experience living with the "English". She strikes up a friendship with Michael, the son, of the English family. There is a lot of drama with the family. The year is 1971 and Michael fe... morears the draft. He has quit college after a traumatic experience and he and his father don't see eye to eye. It is a stressful situation for Betsie, besides having to deal with her parents deciding to leave the Amish Faith because they realized the true gospel message of being saved by the blood of Jesus. Betsie decides to stay Amish, because that is all she has ever known, and she fears that she won't get to Heaven if she leaves the Amish Faith. I find books about the Amish fascinating, but it is also confusing in a way. This book had a lot going on and my mind is still reeling for it, this book and the characters will stay with me for a while. Stephanie Reed did such a good job writing this book, that I feel that I know the characters personally and I find myself kind of worrying about them like I would a friend. Great job Stephanie. This book also left me wondering what happens next and I can't wait for the next in Plain City Peace series. I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review. less
