This was an easy read for me I started it Monday afternoon and was able to finish it Monday night. While searching for the photo of this book I found out it is the 3rd in a series. I was not at all lost in the storyline so perhaps they are stand alones within a series. I will definately check out the other two!

I started this book Tuesday night after I had put the boys I was babysitting to bed and finished it this afternoon between my morning job and evening job. It was definately not your typical "amish" book. I loved that it was filled with mystery but not at all frightening or scary! It also isn't your usual fall in love, get married, live happily ever after story line, I would say the main focus is on forgiveness and letting things go. It is definately a must read and good for my spirit.
