"I felt the pain of Grace's mother as I read Beverly's words and I also felt the anguish of Grace for her mother's departure. I did figure out who Heather really is though, but mostly because I couldn't stand not knowing and the clues were becoming clearer and clearer as the story went on. I am still anxiously awaiting the next novel in the series though, because I can't wait to see how Beverly brings everything to a close."

“The reigning queen of Amish fiction…has penned another touching novel with well-drawn characters and a compelling plot.”
— Library Journal (starred review)" Really liked this one, but I figured out the adopted daughter thing a book ago. No real mystery there, but still really good. "
— Shannon, 2/7/2014" Great book! I love reading about the Amish, I learn so much. I have to admit though i would not like to live like they do, I like my electricity too much! "
— Jackie, 2/6/2014" This book was mildly interesting. I liked that it was pure and sweet. "
— Andrea, 2/3/2014" I never get tired of Beverly Lewis and this one was even better than the last one I read. And I quickly put her next one on hold at the library. She really makes you feel like you are a part of the story. "
— Barbara, 2/2/2014" I love the Amish series books, but I felt that this one gave away a secret way to early into the book, plus there is another book in the series soon to come out, but there is still enough to keep you reading, just a let down. "

— Mary, 11/26/2013" 2nd in the series. moving slowly towards the end, but not resolved at the end of this book. some believable and somewhat interesting character developments. "
— Summers, 11/19/2013" The second book in the Seasons of Grace series. Grace continues to ponder why her mother left, while her mom still looks for a piece of her past. An Amish-based inspirational book. "
— Mmtimes4, 9/18/2013" interesting but slow and highly predictable "
— Joan, 9/8/2013" I know a lot of people found this to be simple, easy to anticipate, etc., but I loved it! This series is the first of Lewis' novels I've read as well as being different from anything else I've read. I really enjoyed being lost in something different for a while. "
— Ashley, 5/25/2013" I really like Beverly Lewis, and this is one of her best series. It takes a great genre on faith, family, and community and adds mystery. Brilliantly done. "
— Rachel, 2/5/2013" Just sampling this genre. I found the information about the Amish lifestyle interesting, but the plot itself was pretty predictable. "
— Sheryl, 12/16/2012" This is the second book in the "Seasons of Grace" trilogy by Beverly Lewis. I love reading anything about the Amish and thought this book was every bit as good as the first book, The Secret. "

— Nancy, 3/16/2012" I had a hard time getting threw this one. I usualy love her books, but it was missing the drama. "
— Heather, 1/20/2012" This is the second book of the Seasons of Grace series. It is the story of a young Amish girl whose Mother leaves. Grace cannot understand why and begins to try to solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance. I highly recommend this book. "

— Diana, 5/28/2011" I don't know what it is about these trilogies, but I think Beverly should write just 2 books per series. The middle books don't forward the stories much. "

— Nicole, 2/3/2011" Great book, but I expect nothing less from Beverly Lewis. Now I can't wait to finidh this triology. "
