I could not put the book down until I could find out how she solved her predicament. I love stories of the Amish, marvel at their strength and beliefs, especially when hardship occurs.

I read this book before and wanted to buy it for my daughter-in-law. It keeps your attention and is hard to put down.

I am really getting into these stories about the Amish people; their life is so different from ours. They are excellent examples of devout obedience to their elders. Sometimes this is a bit hard to accept for an outsider, but these people are very admirable. I was sorry the main character in this story had kept her secrets from her family, but then I got very impatient with her husband for his mean treatment before he finally repented and got himself right with God.

I am a fan of Amish books, so I picked this one up thinking it would be an interesting read but was disappointed. I felt no connection whatsoever with any of the characters. Throughout the book, Grace is weak, cowardly, and a worry wart. It was ridiculous to the point that I found it amusing. There was no climax and the book was not as suspenseful as I had hoped. And I got tired of Grace's constant stuttering.

It's no great page-turner because it moves as slowly as the horse and buggy rides they take.

Got this book, while on holiday in New York State, from my cousin. Thoroughly enjoyed it but was a little disappointed at the end when I did not find out who did all the damage to the property. Hope to get the next in the series to find out what happened.

As I read this Amish novel, I thought that of the four I've read, it was the best. However, when I came to the final page, I had changed my mind.Secrets are dangerous things to keep. Grace, the protagonist, is haunted by the secrets in her past life. She desperately wants to tell Cleon, her fiance, but the time never seems appropriate. One day, the truth is revealed, and Grace's world turns upside down. It is interesting to see the Amish way of forgiveness at work. But does it always apply? Will Cleon be able to forgive and accept Grace? Fortunately, for the reader's satisfaction, that question is answered.Attacks against the Hostettler property cause unexplained damage and increase in intensity. Who is responsible? Throughout the novel, the question is asked over and over and discussed at length. Yet the final page is turned without revealing the answer. Talk about a cliff hanger! This ends so abruptly, this reader is left totally frustrated.If you're a fan of this author, you'll enjoy this one. But when you buy this book, be certain to buy the sequel A Sister's Test. It's the only way you can find out how it ends.

I really enjoyed the story of this family. I have now read all three in the series. It felt like you were apart of their family and the struggles they were going through. Would recommend this series. God works in his way and we have to trust in him.

I always enjoy reading Wanda Brunstetters books and this book was no exception. I could not put the book down and read all three of the books in the "sister" series in one week!!!! Keep up the good work Wanda and I hope you add more to the series.
