I enjoyed this one.
Cute book. Kiept me wondering how it would end.
I really wanted to like this book since I, too, "have a way with animals" but the writing style was immature and if she said something once, she said it a hundred times over. It was so annoying I could not finish reading this book. I wound up scanning it thru the end and called it done. This was my first Brunstetter book and absolutely my last.
Yet another great book by Wand E. Brunstetter. I loved it!
A quick read a very touching story... Melinda already baptized into the church, is confused in what she wants to do... She does have the opportunity and encouragement to continue with her education to become a vet or a vet assistant, so she can take better care of the animals that are dear to her... To do this she would have to leave the Amish faith and be shunned by all she loves... Her family, friends, and her finance. dg
