Synopsis
Despite being raised in a traditional Old Order Amish family, seventeen-year-old Hannah Lapp desires to break with custom, forgo baptism into the faith, and marry outside the cloistered community. She's been in love with Mennonite Paul Waddell for three years, and before returning to college for his senior year, Paul asks Hannah to be his wife. Hannah accepts, aware that her marriage will change her relationship with her family forever. On the evening of their engagement, tragedy strikes and in one unwelcome encounter, all that Hannah has known and believed is destroyed. As she finds herself entangled in questions that the Old Ways of her people cannot answer, Hannah faces the possibility of losing her place in her family, in her community–and in the heart of the man she loves.

Reviews
I admit it - I am not a fan of Amish novels, nor of romance novels, Christian or otherwise. But this book listened on CD held my rapt attention. The theme of this novel seemed to be that no group is perfect and that little innocent acts can be blown way our of proportion by gossip and jealousy. Can't wait for book 2 and I don't say that about many book series.
