Beverly Lewis has a strong and devoted readership for good reason. She tells a very good story about family life in a culture most of us know little or nothing about. Most of her books run in series, but as far as I can remember of this one, it stands alone. Certainly there is no precursor to this book, so you will not miss any information when you begin this book.

Because of the nature of these books (feel good, comfort reading), it is often easy to predict the outcome of the story. But Lewis excels at keeping you deeply interested. Although Lewis is not herself Amish and comes from a mother who left the Amish ways, she does really know what she's writing about. (Although it is very likely that someone who is Amish could find inaccuracies.)

An aspect of Lewis' writing that I and my family appreciate, is that she writes good, CLEAN books. Yes, it is possible to write good romance without resorting to bodice-ripping!

If you are a Lewis fan, you will really enjoy this book and probably were searching for it. If Lewis is new to you, do not hesitate to order the book, unless you are not a woman or teenage girl. These books do not seem to appeal that much to the average American male!
