"What a great book and end to the series. I really enjoyed this one. It was a quick read that took a completely different path than I was expecting so that was pretty exciting. It wasn't as predictable as the first two books and I was really happy with how the series ended. "

“Contains poignant examples of how God’s saving grace can change a person…The end neatly ties up the series.”
— RT Book Reviews“While The Longing is a fictional accounting, the impact of Christianity on the Amish way of life has certainly been a major source of discussion, contention, and hope for many people, and this book is a great reflection of those very things.”
— Christian Library Journal“It is delightful to immerse oneself in the Amish community and its ways of doing things. I hated to leave these pleasant simple people behind when I turned the last page.”
— Libraries Alive“A well-written series about Amish life, filled wit, hope and tragedy, love and fulfillment.”
— Record Courier" I enjoyed reading this book because it ended like I wanted it to, but you could tell that it was going to end that way from the very beginning. . . but that's the way it is with a lot of her books. "
