Good book
I really enjoyed the audio book! I thought the narrator wasn't as good as others I've listened too, but I got used to her.
The story was wonderful ! The hard decisions we make in life came to life ! I saw the Amish way of life in a different perspective . At times when driving I was yelling Go Hannah!! Really enjoyed this book!

German classes
The story was done well, but the narrator should take at least a few basic German classes. "Wie gehts" for example is pronounced "Vee Gates". A review of a few of the rules would be helpful.

I rarely say a title isn't worth your time but...
this story has to be one of the worst in hundreds of titles I've purchased. The main female character in the story is written with the mind more immature than her 16 year old. Her ability to make adult decisions falls very short. The story is very predictable a couple of chapters in. it got so bad that I broke my number 1 rule, I jumped to the last chapter and spared myself very poor writing. I believe I've purchased other books from this author and never came across something so poorly written.
Why?
(Spoiler) It doesn't feel believable to me that an otherwise happy widow leaves the Amish and a daughter (who has already lost one parent) behind with family members so she can run off with an English man she met in a hotel a month or two before? And all she says is that she (the daughter) will need a few days to get over it. Seriously?! it felt like the Amish Jerry Springer show & written as poorly

Tender story
I enjoyed this first book in the series and look forward to the next book.
I enjoy stories about Amish life as it is a simple yet complex religion. The story revolves around a widow in the Amish community and a wodower in the “Englisch” community who find great similarities in their lives which draws tbem to one another.
The implications of such a relationship rocks the Amish community in ways we cannot comprehend. The choice to leave means excommunication.
The narrator does a great job telling the story and bringing the characters alive.
Well done and as I said, I cannot wait to start the next book in the series.
