Excellent!

What an excellent story! I enjoyed it tremendously!
Highly recommend it to others who like Amish fiction with a bit of a mystery!

Loved it

I loved this book.. It's a great story and I loved the way it ended.

Simply lovely

Very well written, loved the story line and the narrator! I love Amish stories and this is one of my favorites I’ve read in a long while.

Love the storyline. Great book.

Written well. The characters grow through out the storyline. Awesome. The transition between each was done at the right time you did not get lost

fantastic

Amazing book it was slow to start but well worth the slow start! I will be listening to this many times.

Book 1 for the price; book 2 because I LOVE it!!

Not sure why, but sometimes I equate amish books with boring, outdated and a bit too old fashioned. But, I want to listen to books that are inspiring, uplifting, and wholesome, so thought I'd give this a try. I bought book 1 because the price was so low, thinking it would be mediocre at best. Surprisingly, I love it! Saving my credit for book two. This is well written and the narration is great. So nice to listen to something that keeps my attention and is also wholesome.

very good Amish book

I enjoyed the storyline, time hops, and the reader did a great job too. A very good listen!

Good story

The story line is good... However, the narrator is a little mechanical in her reading. It would have been nice to know what happened to the kidnappers.

A little predictable!! But still a good story!!!

This story is a little long winded before it gets to the good stuff. I was disappointed that I could predict the major happenings in this story. If you are not the type that is good at predicting stories then this is the story for you. The narration was very enjoyable. Overall this story was pretty good. Not disappointed I purchased this book.

I LOVED this story!

This story kept me interested the whole time.
Ruth Reid is a new favorite author of mine.
I love Amish stories.
