This book totally held my attention throughout. There was lots of great reading to keep me turning the pages. It started out difficult for Allie, a Mennonite young women who loves Reuben, an old order Amish. As Reuben's mother realizes this she tries everything she can think of to sabotage their relationship. For various reasons, Saloma, Reuben's mother, does not treat Allie in a kindly manner. As Allie tries to deal with the bitterness of Saloma, she is never dealt a kind hand. It takes great love and faith to work through the difficult times ahead.
I totally loved this book. It was realistic and doesn't paint a beautiful picture of a completely loving family. Love, trust in God and lots of forgiveness are a strong threads in this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
