This was an interesting book. I liked learning more about the Amish and their relationships to people outside their faith and those not yet baptized into their faith.

I think the biggest problem I had with this book was the main character, Eva. She was 29 years old and considered a spinster, but once she was out in the world around men, every man around her decided that she was the one. Before that she was considered "on the shelf". Did she never see men at her church or in her community? Was she only attractive once she lived in a different community? And then of course the boy who broke her heart 10 years ago comes back to town. There are 4 contenders for Eva's heart. What should she do?

I am not going to spoil the ending, but I didn't like it. I can't say anymore or get on my soapbox. The whole love angles just ruined a good story for me. I wish it wasn't a romance, lol! Probably not the correct answer.
