Tame little Amish tale, journal entry style. Very reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie. Learned a few things; didn't know the Amish don't believe in being photographed.

[Noreen Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as engaging as the other books in this series, but interesting for following the development of the familiar characters.

Parts of this book made me laugh until I cried.
A quick read full of Amish wisdom.
It would make a really good movie.

Started a bit slow, but enjoyed reading the diary of an Amish woman and meeting her family and friends. Such a quiet life they lead, but they also have their problems. It was very touching.
