I have always been fascinated by the Amish and I was kind of excited to read this book because of that. This is the first book in a series and I can't wait to read the next books. The author takes the basis for the story from an Amish point of view which is interesting and different. Elizabeth is the oldest daughter in a large Amish family of 9 children which is fascinating to me. She runs away to escape all her endless duties to the family. It was already so different from my own life at this point that I was very into reading about the character of Elizabeth.
This lovely young girl starts a whole new life and takes a apartment with a roommate who attends college which is very exciting. Her roommate introduces her to a nice young man named Bruce. I loved the sweet boy element in the story too! She finds a job at a store and a new love named Saul who owns the store she works at. She has two men competing for her attention which is always interesting. She can't forget her family and is constantly reminded of them with her new responsibilities. The poor thing wonders what to do....stay or go back to her traditional family. You want to keep reading to find out what she does. Does she stay and start a new life with one of the young men or does she return home to her family? The characters are well developed and the story is sweet. It is a wonderful weekend read that I really enjoyed.
