Paradise Valley Audiobook

" This book kind of snuck up on me. It was given to me at a book exchange and I'd started it twice but then set it down to linger. Finally read more than the first 5 chapters and then didn't put it down until I finished at 1 a.m.! I really enjoyed it. I'm sure there will be another continuing volume and I look forward to it. I also think I would have been very happy as an Amish girl. "

" This is an interesting premise. In 1920s, An Amish community from Ohio who has been forced to send their children to public school protests, then moves to Mexico to live, work, and farm. They learn Spanish,mix with the locals, and are harassed by dangerous bandits. The most surprising part of the book is that is based on true events! Can't wait to read book #2 to see what their outcome is. "
