The book I am reading has all three books in one. I find it much easier to review the book after each individual book is complete. There are three books in this series, this is book 1.
According to Goodreads:
Despite being raised in a traditional Old Order Amish family, seventeen-year-old Hannah Lapp desires to break with custom, forgo baptism into the faith, and marry outside the cloistered community. She’s been in love with Mennonite Paul Waddell for three years, and before returning to college for his senior year, Paul asks Hannah to be his wife. Hannah accepts, aware that her marriage will change her relationship with her family forever.
On the evening of their engagement, tragedy strikes and in one unwelcome encounter, all that Hannah has known and believed is destroyed. As she finds herself entangled in questions that the Old Ways of her people cannot answer, Hannah faces the possibility of losing her place in her family, in her community– and in the heart of the man she loves.
My heart went out to Hannah Lapp in this book. On top of her brother and dearest friend being in a horrible accident, the unmentionable happened to her as well. I couldn't imagine not being able to tell someone about it for the fear of being shunned. They leave everything in God's hands. What happened to Hannah? How does she cope with it? Does her love, Paul Waddell find out? How does he take the news? To find out what happens to Hannah, read When the Heart Cries.
