— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)" I did rate this book quite highly and will finish the trilogy. I think Fisher is a fine writer; I enjoyed this much more than any Beverly Lewis book I've read. "
— Mary, 2/10/2014" This a really good book. I loved the whole story line. Did I say I love Amish Fiction? Well I do & I have sworn off it because that is all I read if I don't. So was hesitant about reading this. But I loved it. The ending was a little quick but it had to end somewhere & it didn't hurt the story any. "
— Janette, 2/10/2014" Another good Amish fiction- about love, forgiveness and the importance of community. "
— Catherine, 1/18/2014" It was good, not great. I enjoyed learning a little more about the Amish culture. I thought the book was a little shallow. The story had potential, but not the writing had no depth. I couldn't feel for the characters, it lacked true emotion that you would expect from a love story. "
— Mellissa, 1/10/2014" This was a good easy read story. I enjoyed the way the author developed the story abd the issues of faith that many of the characters had to deal with. "
— Andrea, 1/9/2014" This was my first Amish novel and I was pleasantly surprised. I will read more by this author. "
— Paula, 12/11/2013" This was an enjoyable, easy read "
— Cindy, 11/8/2013" This was a good book that kept moving at all times. There were no unnecessary drawn out chapters or scenes. Carrie is a young Amish woman who is handed some very rough life changes. How Carrie handles these choices and sometimes regrets is a great story. "
— Karen, 11/5/2013" Didn't want it to stop. I loved every character and I wanted to continue to follow them throughout their lives "
— Dedie, 11/2/2013" Very good read. The author did a great job developing each character. Through all the twists and turns of love and life you could almost feel the heartache of each person as the story went on. Of course, after the heartache comes the renewed love which also came across like a rainbow after the rain. "
— Donna, 10/9/2013" This poor deals with a lot and triumphs. It was more fast pace than most of my Amish books. "
— Cheryal, 9/12/2013" i really liked this book it is not to overloaded with the religion aspect of the amish lifestyle. it is a goood book and i recomend it to anybody who like romannce books "
— Donna, 6/29/2013" I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy reading books about Amish anyway, but I could not put this book down. I read it in a little over a day. I will definitely be reading more of Suzanne Woods Fisher's books. "
— Donna, 3/30/2013" Inspiring, uplifting story... one I found myself relating to on many levels. Can't wait to read more of Suzanne Woods Fischer's books. "
— Becky, 2/23/2013" It was pretty wishy washy on the religion. It didn't portray the Amish as ALL being on the same page in their beliefs. There were "stages and levels" of how strict they were. And the "bible" being used wasn't KING JAMES and so that added even more confussion, "
— Audrey, 1/13/2012" It did have all of the elements found in every other amish book out there but I did really like the new twist with Abel. I probably will finish the series out. "
— Beks, 11/26/2011" I really didn't think I was going to like this book. I had just finished reading a book with a lot of hot and horny so I wanted something to simmer down with. This book was enjoyable, I felt myself relating to the main character even though I don't know a thing about the Amish. I'm glad I read it. "
— Shelly, 9/20/2011" Excellent book - can't wit to finish the other two of this series. "
— Wendy, 4/27/2011" A stand-out among Amish fiction. "
