My Thoughts
This is the final book in the Amish of Summer Grove series.  This book continues the story of Ariana and Skyler, two young women who were switched at birth. I have been a fan of Ms. Woodsmall for a long time and I love reading anything that she puts out. She always puts a different perspective of Amish Fiction with her careful crafting. Her characters are tangible. This is not your typical sweet Amish book - it collides with the English world, and the different areas that Amish are not accustomed to dealing with. This book is a great read and easy to follow. 

I recieved a copy of the book courtesy of Litfuse Blog Tours, all opinions are my own.
