This book is classified as Young Adult Christian (Amish) Fiction, but would easily be enjoyed by adults as well.  It is a quick easy read that will keep you turning the pages as the story unfolds.  The author begins each chapter with a scripture that becomes the theme of that chapter, which makes it ideal for teaching the relevance of scripture in our everyday lives.  I especially like the way the truth of scripture is used within the story to stress that salvation is a gift through God’s grace alone, rather than anything we can merit on our own.Joanna is a young Amish girl who is the victim of abduction. Feeling alone and afraid, she tries the only thing she can think of to get away. But will her plan work?Being brought up in the Amish church, she knows that forgiveness is necessary, but can she find it in herself to forgive this man for this violation that continues to haunt her?Ever wonder what impact your actions have on other people? Joanna’s abductor has had a great impact on her life, but what impact will she have on his?Prayer, friendship, Bible study, forgiveness, courage and freedom are interwoven into the story line to develop the reader’s Christian character. I would highly recommend this book, and I look forward to the remaining books in the Amish Girls Series.My special thanks to the author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.  All opinions stated within this review are mine, and no further compensation has been made to obtain a positive review.
