My Thoughts On The Book:  I am a huge Cindy Woodsmall fan.  I love her books. Yet, as big a fan as I am..... I was a little disappointed with the third and final in the Series:  The Amish of Summer Grove.  I had a hard time getting into this book.   I can't say the book was bad....but as far as good goes it was just alright. I liked the way Woodsmall ties up all the loose ends and I am not left wondering what will be. I loved the characters in the series.  I felt as if I knew each one of them personally.  If you are a fan of Amish fiction then I recommend this series to you.  I cannot wait to see what Woodsmall comes out with next.
