My Review


I loved these Amish stories, and actually most could be any culture, with life’s trials, and joys.
Written by three different, but related, authors, these short stories quickly drew me in, and although you quickly finish one, with questions answered, I found myself wanting more and moving on to another, and that quickly pulled me in.
This is a book that you could take eighteen days to savor, there are eighteen stories, or like me, I quickly absorbed these, they are that good!

I received this book through the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
