I am always amazed and interested when people move to a new place and the interaction that results with the people in the new town. In this novel although moving into a place where other Amish persons lived it was like being back home in terms of how people gossip many times without knowing the full story of the event. It show how people respond to new commers when they think they know the person and not wanting them to get to close to persons their age. This is what happened to the sister of Katie when her sister came to live with her because of some rumor in the home she left, in addition whe was faced with a town where someone was not happy with changes that happened after she came and opened a shop which was a drawing place for both amish and non-amish women. Loved the ending and the lesson of this story. Katie moves to Pleasant Valley sets up a new quilt shop near Caleb's business. She also has her little sister to help her and Rhoda also becomes friends with Caleb's sister, Becky. Caleb and Katie have some baggage: Katie's boyfriend left her for her best friend and Caleb's girlfriend left the Amish community with a baby. They work together to make Pennsylvania Dutch Days a success and find a few obstacles in the way--could love be something they can share?334 pages
