An extended visit to Virginia might just tip the scales as Lindsay reconnects with friends, joins a new church, works on her GED, and is pressured by her sister to stay and make something of herself.

"This was a delight from start to finish. I loved it. Really could not put the book down, and had to find out what the ending was. It was beautifully written, and reading it, could tell that a lot of love and hard work went into this. I felt for Lindsay, her unsureness of committing to being baptised into the Amish life. The side story of Rebecca and her problems with her pregnancy were all too familiar. There were times when I felt like getting hold of Jessica and telling her to leave her sister alone. Its a really lovely story and thoroughly enjoyed it! Hurry up for the final novel in the series please!!!!!!"
