"Does nothing good ever happen on an amish farm? These stories are killing me. I want happiness for these people I grow to love while reading the stories, but alas it is not to be, I am not sure I can wait until Sept 2011 to continue this story. "
— Marianne (5 out of 5 stars)
“An inviting read, filled with heart-rending circumstances and some good characters.
— RT Book Reviews“Continuing the intriguing story arc established in The Thorn, Lewis’ Lancaster, Pennsylvania-area Amish Rose trilogy further develops Rose’s struggles with her faith and the behavior expected of her, as she observes with startling clarity her sister’s and the community’s lack of Christian charity in their daily actions.”
— Booklist" Really enjoyed this book. I'm fascinated by the Amish and their dedication to a separate lifestyle. "
— Catherine, 7/23/2011" This second book of the trilogy wasn't as good as the first. I felt the author was just buying time to make it to a third book. I am excited for the third one though to see how it all ends. "
— Shonni, 7/13/2011" This second book in the series definitely delivers. All the plotlines have interesting twists. I was surprised at the change in the main plotline and like how the author has given herself many ways to go in the final book in the series. "
— Kelly, 7/5/2011" Great follow up to "The Thorn" can wait for the 3 book so I can see how it turns out. "
— Arnella, 6/23/2011" Beverly Lewis has again delivered the kind of reading experience people have come to love—a compelling tale about a way of life that struggles to survive against the challenges of the outside world. "
— June, 6/11/2011" Would definitely have helped if I remembered what happened in book #1; not my favourite Amish novel by B. Lewis. "
— Jenna, 6/9/2011" pretty good book. Not as good ast other books by author. "
— Donna, 6/6/2011" Great book. Love her Amish books. I'm seeing a deeper more personal Amish Faith in this series than some others she's written. Will find it interesting to see how things work out. Final book in trilogy due this Fall. "
— Greensmith, 5/29/2011" The story didn't really forward much in this book. I hope the 3rd (and final) book in the Rose trilogy is better. "
— Rhonda, 5/26/2011" A really good book!! I didnt want to put it down and was sorry when it ended. Cant wait till Sept. when the next part comes out!! "
— Sue, 5/21/2011" Just started - so far I like it. Not sure which guy I want Hannah and Rose to end up with... but I'm hoping this goes in a good direction. "
— Stacey, 5/11/2011" Almost as entertaining as the first book of this series. A little more predictable.....but it's moving the story along. Looking forward to the conclusion! "
— Katie, 5/3/2011" Can't wait for the final book!!! "
