Description
Amish pacifism is sorely tested in the Paradise Valley settlement in the 1920s. When an army of bandits descends on them, the Amish are saved by the last-minute arrival of government troops. But they soon learn that soldiers can be as cruel as the bandits themselves. Then a bishop travels to Mexico, and Caleb's daughters are finally able to marry, though the ban still looms for Miriam even as her beloved Domingo decides he must go off to fight in the coming war. As Caleb's frail hope of peace and freedom in Mexico slips away, he is left to ponder the question: In times of trouble, on whom should we rely?

The third and final book in this series and it did not disappoint. My favorite part of this book was learning about the Amish who traveled to Mexico and all they lived through. Even though the book is fictional, it is based on true history which made it all the more interesting.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
The new Amish settlement in Mexico is thriving. New families are moving in, new couples are falling in love and getting married, but things are not easy in the new settlement. Everyone had to work extra hard to survive. Troubles seem to Turn up on every corner. Bit Amish are a strong group of people, and the for sure do not mind hard work. As more issues arise, couples and families are torn apart in order to live their lives.
This has been a heartbreaking series for me. Though the Amish believe they did the right thing to move their families to Mexico, life was so hard. Hard work for both the men and women, hard decisions to be made, nothing was even a little easy as they had to start from scratch and build everything. In this book, with finding they had no help from the government amist their difficulties, it was difficult for me to read. I kept thinking, they should have stayed where they were, or go back to where life was easier. But they had so much invested to leave it all. All in all, this is about the most difficult Amish book, and series I’ve read. My Heart went out to them all because circumstances and their stubbornness made life so much harder for them. I’d like to read more, if this series continues, to see if life does indeed get easier for these special Amish characters who have wormed their way into my heart. If you enjoy old order historical Amish reads. You will enjoy this book and thus series.
