There are a lot of good things with this book. The story is engaging. The author does a great job of mixing flashback in with the up-to-date events so that everything flows together well.
The book lost stars for two reasons. First, there are A LOT of characters to keep track of. Some are easy to remember, but all the Amish blend together, making it hard to remember who is what relationship to who. Second, the book takes a bit to get going. It never got to the point of me thinking of giving up on the book, but it got close.
