I enjoyed this Amish style Cinderella. It even has a fancy blue dress. No pumpkins, however, or Fairy Godmother, glass slippers or anything like that though. I found the characters a little simplistic - even for isolated Amish, but this is a fairy tale adaptation, right? This is short, so to be fair, so there probably wasn't much space to do more as far as the story goes. I found it a little questionable that someone could be able to hidden in a barn loft for years without Amish neighbors noticing something. From there, the story begins to grow and develop - a neighbor, Nathaniel DOES find out that our heroine has been enslaved for years. Nathaniel is also Amish and very handsome. He rescues the young heroine Cindy. Nathaniel is a able to teach Cindy English and about Faith. Justice is served when her step-family realizes she has done nothing but good to them and they feel shame after some time. There's even a happy ending. Cue the white doves, wedding bells, whatever. I loved the ending and how the story all unfolded, that's why I gave it a five. Very good read, I highly recommend. Well written J.E.B. Spredemann
