I am a big fan of historic fiction and Amish fiction. When I first saw this book, I added it to my wish list and then ordered it from Amazon, but was skeptical about the intermingling of characters from the Amish and English world. After reading the first few pages, I was already hooked and couldn't put the book down. It tells two different stories, one that is in the summary and one that takes place over a hundred years ago, but the stories are related. I must say that I found the story line of Annie and Rufus more interesting to me, but it did have a great deal more action. I did enjoy the story of the forefathers, though, as it did lend relevent information to the story. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this read and would suggest it to everyone. I can't wait for the second book to come out.

This story is wonderful and a great book to read. I recently saw it on tv as it was also made into a movie with Jason Gedrick playing Gabe. Heartwarming book and movie.

This book is by far one of the best books I've read. I also just finished the second book and can't wait to begin the third of six books in the series. I follows Jade Fitzgerald and collateral characters in the storyline. I found the writing to be very pleasing and easy to follow. I don't like to give a play-by-play on any book because I don't like to give away any of the story line, but I will say that if you like stories along the lines of Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks, you will love this book.
