I absolutely loved this book as a tween/teenager. I bought it on a family trip to Lancaster County, PA and read it so many times that the cover is falling off. I wrote about this book in my college essays. Even though it is about an Amish girl, it is a universal story that I related to deeply. Katie struggles with whether to follow the traditions of her family and community when many of her friends are pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable. I hope I can find a new copy of this so my daughter can read it in a few years.
