Rachel Yoder and Ellie Lawrence are living in two completely different worlds. Ever since Rachel’s husband passed away three years ago, she has been living the simple life on her parent’s farm raising her daughter. Ellie on the other hand has been living in New York City. She has a very high demanding job that doesn’t leave much time for family or friends.
One day both of these girl’s lives changed. They both received a letter saying that when they were born, there was a mistake at the hospital and that they were switched at birth! Ready or not, both girls are about to take an adventure. Ellie wants to know more about her Amish family and Rachel is curious about her English family in New York City.
What will happen to Rachel and Ellie? Will they realize that they aren’t who they thought they were? Will the journey they take open doors that they wished remained closed?
Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds? In this case, you most definitely can! I can’t imagine the position that Rachel and Ellie were in, not to mention their parents! The struggles that both families overcome in this story are truly remarkable.
With every turn of the page, new emotions arose. I was very pleased that by the end of the story Ellie and Rachel were friends, almost sisters. Both families came together on Christmas and share a common bond; that bond being Rachel and Ellie. While this may not be your every day situation, it works for the parties involved. Who says you can only have one set of parents? One family?
So yes, it is possible to have the best of both the Amish lifestyle and the English lifestyle. If you want something bad enough, you will take whatever measures needed to ensure that it will happen. I absolutely loved this book!
I rate this book 5/5!
