Another great Amish Fiction book by a great author. Shows how the Amish and the Englishers can get along with each other thru times of crisis and form true friendships.
I really enjoyed this book. It centered more around teenagers. When an Englisher family moves next door to an Amish family, curiosity leads to friendship between the brothers and sisters of both families. The courtship of an all-most-promised Amish couple comes to an abrupt halt by uncertainties and misunderstandings. Also deals with teen pregnancy and handled very well.
