We don't mind when it's done on television.<br /><br />I was pleased it wasn't the same ole which-man-to-choose story too. I had to return the second book in the series before I had a chance to read it. Bummer. I'll borrow it again.CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408275230651375795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744012819468372038.post-68748531924442270482009-12-09T18:45:11.799-06:002009-12-09T18:45:11.799-06:00Christy------

Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking ...Lee~<br /><br />Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to read my review. <br /><br />I personally have not read that many depressing Amish books--most of what I've read has been about a girl choosing between an Amish boy or and English boy, or some similar story line or variation. So, I appreciated the fact that this story revolved more around the mom. The main portion of the book that was depressing was the reactions from the father and the children dealing with the mom just up and leaving with no real explanation. <br /><br />I just liked it because it was different, and have every intention of reading the next 2 books. If you consider reading them, I'd love to know what you think. :o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224144362122882987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744012819468372038.post-43086905038336632532009-12-08T15:23:08.458-06:002009-12-08T15:23:08.458-06:00I'm not the biggest fan of Amish fiction becau...I'm not the biggest fan of Amish fiction because of the tendency for the plots to be so... depressing and they often do series and leave a lot unfinished for the next book. If you read them when they first come out, you are left hanging, wondering what will happen to poor Abigail and if she will be accepted by the community, her beau, or whatever. <br /><br />Having said that ~ some of the very best writers in Christian fiction today are writing in this genre, so the books themselves can really grab your heart and make you care about the characters. It's a good thing we have so many different kinds of books to read.<br /><br />You did a fantastic review! Thank you. :o)Margaret Metzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070144752258476825noreply@blogger.com
