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.
