    Thank you Jennifer for being brave enough to write a book on a very controversial subject in today’s society with kindness, understanding and empathy. Yes, we all make mistakes, especially when we are young! However, some mistakes have lifelong consequences as you so aptly characterized! May many women be set free from condemnation, shame and guilt as they read this heartfelt story.

    Cried sad tears and then happy tears as Hannah and Christian worked and prayed their way to God’s peace.
  • Amish Myth

    This book is total FICTION. Amish life is hard. Amish 80% of the nations puppy mills. Lancaster County alone has over 600. The Amish are unspeakably cruel to their animals. They dispose of their used up crippled horses at horse auctions selling them to Mexican/Canadian slaughterhouses. Girls are literally “owned” by their fathers until he presents her to her husband. Wives have no say in anything. They are bred like brood mares. Sex abuse is rampant. Education is not encouraged in order to handicap and prevent Amish youth from leaving the cult. The Amish are hypocrites they use power tools and own cell phones. They love tourist cash. All their furniture looks the same no matter where you buy it. Nothing craftsman about it. The Amish live for cash. They love the “English” money but teach their children they are evil. Don’t romanticize a misogynistic cult. There is nothing kind and gentle about them.

    I rarely write reviews, but this book is something special. It takes a very difficult, emotional topic and turns it into something beautiful. We can’t take back our mistakes, but through Christ we can overcome any sin and be a light to others as we trust in him. I will encourage my teen daughters to read this book as well.

    Excellent story. I love to read books about the Amish way of life. It is such a less worldly way to live. I sometimes envy them. However I was born into a very religious Catholic family of which I am most grateful. I met and married a man who did not go to church but even when I was tempted he was the person with morals and respected me enough to wait until we were married. We were married 57 years and I miss him so much. He died in March 2014.

    Hannah's story is compassionately told, and I suspect it will help more than one young woman who finds herself in the same circumstance. However, the editing leaves much to be desired! Had I read this as a paperback, instead of on my iPad, I may have been tempted to pull out my red pencil! I would love the opportunity to edit a future book the way my elementary English/Grammar teachers taught many years ago.

    Good read. Unusual topic for an Amish book. The goodness of the Lord shines through.
