Review: Fast Moving, Explosive Fun!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Book one started a little slow and was a little clumsy, but when it picked up it went careening to an explosive, cathartic, and exciting finish. Well, Book two begins on Book one's high note and builds from there. Rebecca Price is an amazing writer with volumes of compassion, understanding, and knowledge of the human condition, both its strengths and foibles. She produces gutsy, almost street smart Hannah Troyer, survivor against any odds, a 21 year old Amish newly wed who comes out top of the heap. Who would of thought the simple concept of a Whoopie pie contest would raise two school houses, set two Amish towns on their ears, bring in thousands to their marketplace, involve Hollywood, the mafia, an international Chef, TV camera crew...and work it all into an Amish novel. Extraordinary, fun, exciting, and moving. Three cheers and five stars! Brava Rebecca. Highly recommended.
