Again...it’s been ages since I’ve read this book but it’s still one of my favorites of all time. The entire series is wonderful and it was about time I reviewed it. Even after almost a decade since I last read this book, I still remember it with great clarity, having read it so many times back when I was a pre-teen.
The series got even better with this second installment of the trilogy where Leah goes to the Amish community for the summer to be near Ethan. It’s interesting to see his world and learn more about him, and do it with Leah as she continues to get an education from this whole other world. The sadness of this book is all the more than the first one (spoilers: there’s a major death in it), and it’s hard to imagine how everyone can be so strong in dealing with the pain.
The Amish are a very interesting people. This is the only series I’ve ever read in dealing with a subject/people so heavy, but it does leave me intrigued for more. I’m quite shocked that I’ve never read anything else on the subject.
One more book in the series, and it’ll be my favorite of the trilogy (there’s actually an interesting story behind it but you’ll have to read that review to know what it is). Like the first one, I’ve been meaning to pick this one back up to read but I still have to get through the many others I’m knee deep in at the moment. Just make sure, if you check this one out, to remember to have tissues!

I really liked this book. This book, and the two that go with it are probably the only books involving the Amish I'll actually enjoy. The way it's written is so good, you feel like you are right there with the characters. It's really good.

I really liked this book. The way McDaniel describes the amish culture was really interesting. I love the romance between Ethan and Leah because it actually made sense and it wasn't insta love. I would recommend this for those you have read her other novels.

A student talked me into reading this book, and I wanted to because so many of the girls just absorb these books. This one was sweet and simple. Light romance and a brief glimpse into Amish culture.

- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Pretty good read, real quick. Read it because I am cleaning off my shelf. I did not have the first one though so I feel like I missed a few things with the characters. If I had read the first one this book would be much easier to get into. A traumatic event happens most of the way through the book and I probably should have cried but I didn't. On the whole this was a well written book and enjoyable.
