"I borrowed this book from my younger sister not realizing it was a teen novel, but was quickly drawn into the character's lives. I can't wait to share this series with my daughter, because Beverly Lewis does an amazing job of sharing the redemption story through the eyes of a teenage girl. "

" These were great! It's about a 15 girl (that turns 16 in the sequel) in Amish country who has 2 guys fall for her and she tried to sort out her own feelings. It has some mystery type problems that she helps her friends figure out. She goes to public school and witnesses. "

" This book is so good! Many times, people think, oh, its a Christian novel, it'll be all fake, none of the characters wil be bad, it will just be a fairytale. NOOOOOOO!!!! This book deals with relevant issues, although not many people live near the Amish. :) Good stuff! "
