Awesome, highly recommended! Mrs. Lewis writes incredible books, and it is a privilege and joy to read her series! I purchased a set for myself, and could not wait for each successive book to be published. The life of the Amish seems to be portrayed very well, the characters are like the best friends within pages of beginning each book. My only dislike in this series has been in waiting for the next one to come out! I correspond with many people in prison through my church's prison ministry, and often purchase gently used Christian books to share with them, or send my own copies when I have finished them. The Prodigal, and other books in this series, are ones that I did not want to give up my own copy, and purchased it as a surprise for a young lady who also loves Beverly Lewis' writing!Read full review
This is the third of the series. The author does an excellent job of weaving a story so true to life that my first opinion was negative since it's much more fun to just escape reality. BUT, as you continue in the series, you see that she is only showing us how to live abundantly rich lives, full of love and forgiveness, as we endure through hardships, deceit, circumstances, etc. without becoming bitter. I would recommend this series to encourage us in our lives to learn to live in gratefulness for what we have, laying aside our past, and living in the present.
This is a great story. The 4th book in this series and Beverly Lewis does not disappoint. The lives of the Amish people are fancinating. I am sure Ms. Lewis' family background with the Amish community adds many interesting details to the story.

I actually bought the series and this is one part of five- The fourth in the Abram's Daughters series. I do enjoy reading Christian or Bible based novels. The author tried hard to keep true to the Amish and Mennonite culture. A few times it seemed not to move along fast enough for me. There were lots of twists and turns in the several plots and many heataches and sorrows. Communication. Communication. Communication would have solved several problems. Although it is a little hard to get started in the first book of the series; it is an easy enjoyable read.
This book was awesome But then every book I have read so far of Beverly Lewis has been great I don't want to put them down.
