This is not your typical Amish fiction book, it is so much more. This book is so good I read it in one day. This is the first book by Laura Bradford I've read, but it won't be the last. This would make a great book for a book club, it has discussion questions at the end. Be warned, once you start this book you won't be able to put it down, you just have to know what happens next. Thank you Kensington Books via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. This is my honest opinion and I highly recommend this book to anybody who loves Amish fiction.

This is my first book I read from this Author and I totally enjoyed. It is the story of Emma Lapp. She always felt that there was something not right in her family. Her Mother and family never really celebrated her birthday like her siblings. This is the day her mothers sister died. This day every year made her mother sad. They always visited the grave site and dad would take things off the grave and toss them. When she became 7 she would go to the grave before she went to school and take the item and hide it. It is a beautiful story of a secret her parents hid from her. It is a story of forgiveness and finding the truth about herself. I thought this was a well written book it kept you wondering about the secret. I will read other books from this Author. Thank You for introducing me to a new Author.

I read this book in 2 days, it was hard to put it down. Laura Bradford had me from the first page. I've read a lot of Amish books, but this was by far my favorite. Emma struggled with some real issues surrounding the circumstances of her birth. I felt that it was told in a way that a real young woman would struggle when certain truths were revealed, it was not sugar coated at all. I look forward to reading more of this talented authors books!
