I just loved this book, I got my hands on this book on Saturday and had it finished by Sunday. I could not stop reading it 
.
The hardships that the main character goes through are so realistic, the fear and uncertainty of how the Choices she makes affect her and her family really home for me. I know that I might not always make the right choices. But I do believe that in the long run was will end up exactly where we need to be based on how God has mapped out or lives and by the choices we make. Which is exactly what happens to Carrie throughout this book, not everything that happens is good but it does happen for a reason.
The Amish lifestyle sounds wonderful to me, to explore and admire from afar. I do not think that I could live it myself, I have become way to used to the comforts that I do have. But the philosophy of getting back to the basics does appeal to me, and is something that I do try to accomplish her at home. Suzanne Woods Fisher brings the Amish to life in this book, we see how the young people struggle to decide how they will live their lives and grow in spirituality and maturity as time passes.
This book is a wonderful read, and I am looking forward to trying to get my hands on some of the previous Lancaster County Secrets and also the future one.

ABOUT THE BOOK!
One moment, Carrie Weaver is planning to elope with Lancaster Barnstormer Solomon Riehl, leaving their Amish community behind. The next, she is staring into a future as broken as her heart. Now Carrie faces a choice. An opportunity. But will this decision, this moment in time, change her life forever?
"Fisher kicks off a refreshing new series, Lancaster County Secrets, with characters that are strong, both in body and spirit. They also have weaknesses that develop into strengths with the choices they make."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Suzanne is a wife and mom, raiser of puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, and an author of Christian books, both non-fiction and fiction.
Her relatives on my mother’s side are Old Order German Baptist Brethren, also known as Dunkards. That’s where her interest in Anabaptist traditions began. Suzanne’s grandfather was born into a family of 13 children, started his career as a teacher in a one-room school house in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and ended it as one of the very first publishers of Christianity Today. "We called him "Deardad" even though he was a very stern fellow. Still, Deardad’s life inspired me to write."
After college, Suzanne was a freelance writer for magazines and became a contributing editor to Christian Parenting Today. Her work has been featured in Today’s Christian Woman, Marriage Partnership, Worldwide Challenge, among others. She took the plunge into books a few years ago and now she’s hooked.
