MY THOUGHTS:         A bit of a different outlook on the Amish way of life. I liked how the author elaborated on Priscilla's rumspringa and the different ways of English life she is exposed to. Through it all, her Amish upbringing keeps her solid in doing what is right. She struggles with whether to be baptized into the Amish faith as does her boyfriend. This story was great in that it shows how Priscilla struggles with doing what God wants her do and not just what her family wants. It reminded me that regardless of what faith you are, Amish or non-Amish. We all struggle with decisions where we seek God's way and finding the answer isn't always quick or easy.  I also was glad to see Priscilla and her father bond over what a talent they both share is finally brought out in the open.  A sweet story anyone will love to read.

MY THOUGHTS:            I LOVED, LOVED THIS BOOK!!  The best time travel/romance story I have ever read. The thoughts and feelings of Liz and her love for books made me feel right at home the minute I opened the book. The author has an exceptional talent in her writings. The thoughts, actions and personality of the characters flow so seamlessly throughout the book in a beautiful way. It is like A.M. Heath was inside my head as she wrote this fun-filled, humorous yet intriguing and challenging story. What I liked is - she weaves the gospel in throughout the story, Liz's thoughts on reading mirror my own, the way Liz goes into time to live out what she thinks is a life so much better than the one she lives is written in an amazing way. It opens your eyes to the fact that what we think we want just might make you realize and grasp the truth that what you had to begin with is the right life after all.  Blessings, Karen Hadley Ratin...

  HAPPY TUESDAY!!! How is everyone? Aren't you glad Fall is getting closer? I am. I love the cooler weather, soft blankets, hot chocolate and of course, a good book. Thankfully, I can read during any season and a good place to start is "FOOL'S NOTION". MY THOUGHTS:          A fun and delightful story. Within its pages, this author's talent for writing flows throughout each page. It is funny, suspense filled, encouraging and just an all around great read. The main characters of Alda, Cord and a few others are the kind you connect with in a flash. Each has their own secrets and past yet they strive to put it behind them and focus on the day ahead. It is a quick and easy read and one you will want to take time for and enjoy on any kind of day. Blessings, Karen Rating: 5* I received this book as a gift and all opinions are my own. About Lisa J.
