A very compelling novel! Valuable listen!

I found 'The Mountain Dreamer' to be a very compelling novel and listened to it almost on one sit. There is a nice flow to the story and the shorter chapters make it an easy read/listen. Rachel Steffen did a great job describing the places and experiences of Sarah, thus drawing the reader/listener into her world. I personally was excited the whole time, wondering how the love story will unfold. After finishing the book I am now interested in hearing a continuation to the story - Did they ever meet again? Does she know what happened with him? What happened with her? etc. I would love to read a sequel to this book.

The story is a great illustration of how complicated life can be for missionary kids, how torn apart they are between worlds, how much the parents don't understand their children's attachment to the host culture etc. I highly recommend this book for anybody who is a missionary kid or wants to understand more about how missionary kids feel.

This is an Awesome Book.

This is a well written book.
A Sweet and Touching Story of young Love.
I highly recommend this book.
You will feel the feelings, of the characters and feel like, you are there with them .... It's so Good!!!
