I loved this book, I read it in one day. Four English siblings have decided they want to join their grandparents and become Amish, their plans don't go quite like they planned after talking to their grandparents. It's decided two of the siblings will go stay a year. and learn the ways of amish life. And even though they had faith in God, they soon learn there is more to being Amish than just beliefs, can they give up their English life and convenience and go to the life they were so sure they wanted, it's a wonderful story of faith, love, and acceptance. Change isn't easy and everyone is different in how they adapt and that's ok.

Four siblings, who have grandparents who are Amish, decide they want to leave the English world and "become" Amish too. Two stay and two leave, to take turns without overwhelming their grandparents. Enjoyed this one (although the hanging ending was not needed) and the oldest brother and sister as they meet and fall in love with members of the community. Would highly recommend this one and look forward to the next in the series.

Four siblings have pretty much raised themselves following their parents’ divorce, when they decide to return to their grandparents community and become Amish. One brother and one sister move in with the grandparents and begin their journey. Difficulties arise due to cultural differences, and romance also enters the picture. And the sibling are forced to examine their motives. The story ends rather abruptly, indicating a sequel that forthcoming..

Shelley Shepard Gray has so many series out, she just keeps turning them out. This is a good thing though. I haven’t read a book of hers I didn’t like or couldn’t relate to. She’s one of my favorite go to Amish writing authors. I’m not sure how many books will be in this series, but this is the start of the newest series publishing June 2024.


4 siblings are looking for their anchor in life. They have been raised by a former Amish father and Englisher mother. They have a close bond and the older have always looked out for the younger.
These siblings haven’t had the best of upbringings and feel peace of mind when they visit their Old-Order grandparents in Ohio.


Will they find the serene happiness they are seeking when they all decide to move to their grandparent’s house and want to embrace their lifestyle and become Amish? Will this give them what they have been missing out on in life? Life never seems to go as we plan though, and curveballs can be expected at the most unexpected times. All their circumstances are different but yet the same in many ways. I enjoyed all the characters but wasn’t sure about the decisions they would make.


I have read this author’s books for many years and always enjoy them. This one ended on a cliff-hanger so I’m sure it’ll take us right into the next in the series.
