My Thoughts About The Book:  I enjoy reading Leslie Gould books and I have enjoyed reading the first three of the Lancaster books.  I hope to visit one day.   The biggest drawback I had to this book was that I began reading it as soon as I got it....in one sitting.....and then had to wait to post my review.  Ahhhh!  I was so disappointed to have to do a quick refresher.   Gould is an awesome character developer.  Her characters are so real that they draw you into the story before you even know what hit you.  Even though this is part of a series you do not have to have read the others to catch one immediately.  This book does not disappoint and should be in anyone's library if they enjoy Amish fiction.  It is great.
