Rebekah, 18, detests Daniel Stoltzfus and has refused his requests to court her twice already. What did he do that Rebekah has never forgotten? Rebekah has her eyes on Michael Esch and therefore is very disappointed when she sees him riding off in a buggy with Beth Beiler.Anna, Rebekah's sister who is14, thinks that David is the best choice for Rebekah.One evening after supper, Rebekah, Anna and Jacob, 5, take a walk in the woods with their dog Molly. Molly runs off as does Jacob, darkness descends and although they tell Molly to take them home, she thinks it is all a big game and does quite the opposite. They find themselves hopelessly lost.How do they survive? What do they eat and drink? What about the wolf pack? Who finally finds them and how does that alter Rebekah's life?I loved reading of how Rebekah's parents were so obviously in love. Her Dat still tells her Mam that she is beautiful and how he is so thankful that she married him.This is a well written, highly descriptive book that not only gives you a glimpse into the lives of the Old Order Amish but weaves a story of how love can make a difference if given a chance. None of us are perfect, we are all sinful but true forgiveness forgives and forgets allowing us to see the "real" person inside. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I'm off to read the next one in the series now! Oh and I should say that even though this is part of a series the story does have an ending so does not leave you hanging which is really a plus.
