Helpful Score: 1

A rather disappointing book on the whole. Hearing about her Amish life was interesting--although she doesn't go into great detail about it--but how she left it was really rather gross:

**** SPOILER ****

Don't read farther if you don't want to know details of the book!

**** SPOILER ****

The fact that she "fell in love" with an old, broken-down, grossly fat, unemployed guy that was 30 years older than herself--AND he'd been married 3 times already!!!--is just plain yucky.
He was the first adult man who treated her with kindness and it seems like she jumped for it. Here she is painfully grateful to be doted on for the first time ever, so she doesn't mind that they live in practically a shack, no income, and he can barely walk because of his gout. Ewwwww.
Hey, maybe it's a match for them, but it turned out to be one I didn't enjoy reading about whatsoever.
