"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." — Stephanie (5 out of 5 stars)

" 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. "
" I loved this book! I got it for Christmas and read it in about 24 hours. Once I started, I just couldn't stop! :) "
" This book is completely adorable! It's a light fun read, but not so light where it's unrealistic. And I have to say that Jon and Levi are both so sweet. "
" Without God, our lives just wouldn't be complete. "
" I love all of the info about the Amish but I'm starting to think Mrs. Lewis is not the best author in town. I do like the stories though. This one is about a teenage girl and I wanted to read it to see if it is something I would like my girls to read and they might enjoy. I think the answer to both of those questions is yes. "
" Mixed review on this book - very interested in the information on Amish and Mennonite cultures which is why I read it in the first place. Somewhat simplistic writing style. Easy read - but didn't keep me awake reading at night. I will probably read Volume 2, mainly because someone gave both to me! "
" Very good book. I own it and have read it 3 itme's already and just started it a fourth time! Loved it. If you like reading about amish it's good, but if your a teen who's looking for a good book this is the one to pick! "

" This is a book for teens but I really enjoyed it as well. I think I'm a teenager at heart! "
" This book was so amazing it made me laugh in some parts and then cry in the rest if you love reading about the oldern times or aboout relegious things then this book is for you! "
