review 1: I really enjoyed reading this story- The Memory Jar! One of the main character's philosophy of life about the way she thinks of those she loves, it really impressed me. I tend to agree with her. Some paragraphs from the book of the way she expresses this, are as follows: "It's important to make special memories,to give joy for a moment,because you never know when someone will be gone. The moments, they matter, and you want to make someone as special as possible. And it's those memories we'll always carry with us. It's the things we appreciate and treasure that stays on our minds and hearts even after they're gone." Over all, this is a an inspirational book about looking at life, and of forgiving oneself, of healing, and loving, and looking into our faith to assist us ... morein moving forward with living our lives.
review 2: I've been reading Amish fiction for several years, but this is the first book I've read that takes place (at least in part) in the Amish community in Montana. It was kind of cool to read about the landscape that is almost directly south (by several hundred miles, but, still!) of me.I also really liked both Sarah and Jathan's characters. I appreciated seeing the growth in Sarah as she realised that her dreams were not better or worse (just different!) than the dreams other people had. I liked how Jathan was able to learn to follow his own dreams, but wish we'd seen more of that transition.This is the first Amish themed novel I've read by this author, and I'm impressed! less
