My first Brunstetter book - but certainly not my last.

I have read other Amish fiction books by other authors set in this same area. Brunstetter does the best job of using actual locations/shops/restaurants in her writing, a fact I appreciated having visited the area several times. It made it more authentic for me.

Contains Spoilers:
I have read several of Ms. Brunstetter's books and at this point I believe I am done.
I think my first problem is that any book that has the death of a child needs some kind of warning. If I had any clue I wouldn't have even started the book.
My other biggest problem is how wordly her Amsih are always portrayed. We live not far from an Amish community and visited often when I was young. I have never seen Amish eat out as much as the ones in her books do. In fact in all my years I've only ever seen one Amish family in a local restaurant.
The change in the characters are also unbelievable. Don't get my wrong - people can chane, but I don't think it can happen in one conversation. A change of heart yes and a trying to make different choices, but after one conversation this writter often has a character never have to face their problems again...unrealistic.

I liked this book, but one tragedy I could have done without. I think it would still have been good story. A young women overcomes tragedy through reading her Bible and trusting God.

Wanda Brunstetter has written another good book detaling the life of the Amish life. THe storyline keeps you interested from page 1 to the end. If you like her books, this one is for you.
