For my age and my little knowledge of the Amish I've never been one to read an Amish book, but when my grandmother gave me the book, because she knew how much I love to read; I decided to try it. I am so glad I did! Amish have always fascinated me, but when I read about them; It was hard to grasp what they were saying or what was going on, but Marta Perry is such an excellent author! I understood everything and had the same freak outs that I would with a teenage fiction book. I really wish I would have started with the first book instead of the fourth, but I could still follow easily. I love the sense of small town and everybody knowing everyone and nothing stays a secret, because that's just like where I live. Everything about this book is great! I would recommend it all the way; even if you don't read Amish. You'll be surprised how well this book and other books are from Marta Perry. -Juliet In the slower, drawn out words each character speaks it is only natural to adapt your reading of this book to that stead melodic tone.I enjoyed this story as it had simple characters finding pleasure in easy, life affirming, family based living. It was even frustrating to have such close minded 'worldly' doctors harboring grudges on what woman are born to do naturally (baby birthing) for the sake of their own masculine ego. *shakes feminist fist*
What do You think about Sarah's Gift (2011)?
This is a well-written Amish novel. The characters are well-developed, and I enjoyed the storyline.

Interesting take on an Amish v Englisch situation and how it varies from state to state.
