On a recent trip to Estes Park I stopped at my favorite quilt shop, Cottage Bliss, and I found this new Amish book. As you know, I love Amish stories and I had never heard of Dianne Christner before, but I am so glad that I found this book. Dianne was raised in a Mennonite church and her grandparents were Amish; her cousin owns Cottage Bliss and that is why this book was featured there. In many ways, this story shows a different side of the simple life and actually centers around a Mennonite community. The story line is about a young woman who struggles with the outside influence from the Englishers and those influences that have penetrated her church. A love story and story of community relationships, the book held my interest and I couldn't put it down. There are many views that I have also held and understand but then of course there are some differences as well. I would suggest this book to any who like reading about the Plain and Simple life. I have not received anything from reviewing this book. Enjoy!
Blessings, Noreen
Happy Christmas
