Fraying at the Edge

By: Cindy Woodsmall

Narrated by: Stina Nielsen

The Amish of Summer Grove series continues, as Old Order Amish Ariana and troubled college student Skylar face the reality that nothing about their lives is what they thought to be true.

The second book in the Amish of Summer Grove series explores the changes in the Brenneman family, as Skylar joins them and Ariana navigates the foreign and undesirable Englischer world. Can she help the Nashes learn about the God she loves?

Tied together by an unexpected fire and the events surrounding their births, Englischer-raised Skylar Nash and Old Order Amish Ariana Brenneman are on a journey of identity and family in the Amish of Summer Grove series.

Fraying at the Edge

Was a very troubled ending, for me it was quite confusing. So many people to keep track of.Hoping the next book gets it all straightened out. Have the last one all set to start. Marilyn

So now what?

Very interesting book. Believable on what can happen with many young people. But where is book number three? Not even a message if it will be a trilogy? That is not fair to the reader!

Wonderful

I love this series of books. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will hate when the last book is finished.

Beware Cliffhanger

5 plus star rating reduced ro 4 stars.

Fascinating story of two young women, one a devout Amish woman relied upon by her many siblings, one a rebellious, upper/downer addict and marginal college student, who were switched at birth. The switch isn't discovered until they are twenty.

Each is forced to spend months with their biological family with NO contact with the family that raised them. Forced to live in the starkly different community of the other.

The author expertly developes the character, feelings, and emotional life changes of each woman.

Unfortunately, each of the first two books ends at a life-changing point. Running into these points without resolution has all wallop of a cliffhanger. While each cliff compelled me to purchase the next book, which proves how cliffs financially benefit publishers and authors.Tighter editing and willingness to publish a now unfashionably long novel would rate 5+ stars. Not doing so demands lowering it to 4 stars

Another winner!

I love how Cindy developed the characters. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a book with interesting characters and a quick moving story.

A super great story and series

This series causes the reader to evaluate a lot and more. I loved all of the books

Gaining New Perspectives

A very interesting and informative plot. It kept me wondering how it would end. It is a contrast of two cultures.

This is a really good book well worth reading

I enjoyed reading this book very much. My favorite part was when Arianna had her aha moment and then shares the experience with her mother. I also really enjoyed the moment when Skyler was with her sister Susie and face the moment that she needed to get clean and actually begin to want to. This book causes you to look inside yourself as well. It is a book of self examining. This story is beautifully written and I just can’t wait to read the final conclusion.

Great sequel!

I really liked this sequel! Again, the author and the narrator both did a great job with the story!
If anyone is questioning how they believe, this book also would open their eyes to other ways of thinking...or if you're like me and deeply rooted in your beliefs, it can cause you to answer the questions posed in the story to Arianna from her English father, Nicholas.
again this second story deserves a 5 star rating...Which is what I'm giving it!!!

one of here best so far

I couldn't stop I had to keep going had to find out how it played out and now I hanging on the cliff waiting for book 3 when what will Rudyard do what will the church do what will quill do I may Frey at the edges waiting to find out
