This is the first book in this series that I've read. It was light, sweet, sort of funny. I'm still not sure whether I liked the main character or not. BUT I read it easily in a day and a half and I bought the next one in the series based on a good review I read on here.

I liked the information about amish and mennonite culture. It is interesting that the author was born of missionary parents, lived in the Congo since she was 16yo and is now Jewish. I think her own story may be more fascinating than these books. ( )
