(This review takes me back to my reviewing roots. I am a sucker for Amish fiction.)While I've enjoyed all of the OUT OF DARKNESS books, I have to say this one is my favorite, hands down. I loved the development of the relationship between Miriam and Samuel. These were two people who managed to find their way not only to love--with each other--but back to a faith that they both thought lost for good. Also, there are a couple of twists in the road of their story that kept me reading well past my bedtime (and that takes a lot these days, what with my busy schedule). This definitely is not your typical Amish novel in some ways, like the unusual premise, but the story holds onto the ideals of love grounded in faith--and of course the simple values that we readers have come to associate with the genre. If you like Amish stories, I highly recommend this one.
