This is a sweet/clean Amish Christian Romance with no explicit scenes, with a surprise BONUS inside!
Grace and John have spent their young lives together in the rural Amish village. As they approach adulthood, they decide to put their love to the test and see if they are meant to be together or if fate has different plans.
Through family, friends, and heartache they embark on the journey of Rumspringa to see if their love can stand the test of separation, and if they will one day return to rekindle the flame that burned so bright before they left.
They both are tempted, and their faith in love and friendship is challenged. Will the love of another end what they once had, or will their trust and faith in each other be enough to resist temptation and endure the uncertainty and distance that life throws their way?
#1 Gramatical errors and distracting {Notations} that were extremely annoying.
#2 So many aspects of uncharacteristic behaviors, that were out of line with typcial Amish upbringing, making it was impossible to accept that the author had researched the genre properly.
Enjoyed the Rumspringa Break was only about 22% of the book. Then a book about a cowboy was attached. I wish that they wouldnt have done this. For me that is not what i bought.
I loved reading the different stories as each setting was different. The plot summary is the same in that romance wins as the couple do fall in love with each other and they also had to overcome their own tragedies. I like to read multiple stories with different authors.
This book contains a story about a young Amish couple facing and going through their Rumspringa experience, a misunderstanding that makes them both question their commitment to each other; and the resolution. Additionally follow five short romances, all of which are basically two or three character portrayals simply written, clean and easy reads. I recall thinking they seem to be written by someone quite young, possibly for a writing class in high school or college. They are not badly written; and several show promise of a writer who needs some age and experience to grow into, perhaps a decent if not gifted author. I almost felt I should correct them, grade them and add comments and return them to the student. But, that is not my job here. I would definitely place them in the YA reading interest catagory.
