Must-Have Amish Fiction from #1 Bestselling Author Beverly Lewis
When schoolteacher Jodi Winfield goes for a morning run, the last thing she expects is to find a disheveled little girl all alone on the side of the Pennsylvania road, clad only in her undergarments, her chubby cheeks streaked with tears. Jodi takes the preschooler home with her, intending to find out where she belongs. But Jodi is mystified when no one seems to know of a missing child, and the girl herself is no help, since she can't speak a word of English. It's as if the child appeared out of nowhere.
As the days pass, Jodi becomes increasingly attached to the mysterious girl, yet she is no closer to learning her identity. Then an unexpected opportunity brings Jodi to Hickory Hollow--and into the cloistered world of the Lancaster Old Order Amish. Might the answers lie there?

Beverly Lewis is the queen of the Amish romance! I like reading Amish stories because it is like reading an old fashioned novel and that really appeals to me. Maybe it was because it took me so long to finish it but I felt in some parts of the story fell a little flat and was a little silly. The story flowed in a continuous stream with very little blips of excitement or drama. Only brief hints of conflict, anger or frustration were were given. In that way I think the book was a little simplistic and not realistic. The big suspense was in the beginning when the little Amish girl Sarah fell from the carriage and got lost and after that all you wondered about was if Maryanna and Joshua would hook up and if Jodi, the Englisher could work things out with her guy. Of course the reader expects a happy ending and it was there but there didnt seem to be much depth to the story. Still I really liked it as a perfect read for a late summer day.
