My Thoughts...
Was the letter a love letter? Who could it have been from? This is not your normal Kate Lloyd Amish book. It is a contemporary read not an Amish read. The characters are great and the story flows so well that you will have it read in one sitting and be left wanting more.
I loved Aunt Sylvia and wanted to live with her so bad. Rose is another favorite of mine, you are going to love her as well.
There is some Amish in the book but it not your typical Amish story this is more about the two English sisters. So all of you who are tired of Amish books don't pass this one up because it is not an Amish book.
I loved this book from page one. It is a 5 star book and one not to be missed. I can't wait for book two Starting from Scratch.
