This book is different because we usually see Amish fiction as love stories, feel good stories that always paint the Amish in a good light. This book paints the Amish in a true light. This of course is my opinion. We know the Amish are human like those of us who are not Amish. They feel anger and hatred, etcetera. What is different is that often we act on those feelings, and usually they don't. We are led to believe through Amish fiction that they never get real angry or act on these feelings. Since their community is closed to most English people we never really know. This book brought out several questions about the Amish and made you wonder what would really happen in a situation like the one in the book. Both of the main characters were well developed. They were believable in their thoughts, emotions and their beliefs. I thought it wonderful that we see the way Enos struggles with his beliefs and the way he feels he is lost to God forever. We all feel that way at times. It is great to see the message of forgiveness. This was a wonderful book. I look forward to reading anything else this author puts out. It is now in my top 10 favorites of 2011. There are going to have to be some really great books published to knock it out of that spot.… (mehr)
