My Review:

I have enjoyed reading this Amish series, and I’ve also appreciated the fact that the author has made sure that the gospel has been shared in every book.  It’s been interesting and heart-touching to follow the lives of the main characters through the series.  If you are reading the series for the first time, you’ll want to begin with this book.

In this story, both Silas and Josiah have choices to make, and the choices made in this book will affect their lives and the lives of their families all through the rest of the series.  I came away with a new respect for Silas, and it’s easy to how see he becomes the strong, faithful character we read about as the series progresses.  This is interesting, clean Christian fiction with a message of faith, hope, and love.

I voluntarily received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
