The book was horrible to me. Very disturbing indeed. Is it not written in In 3:17 that HE has come that through Him we might be saved. This book is horrible. Very horrible. I read the  four chapters in the hope that it would correct itself somehow. Simplicity is certainly not stupidity. The narration was more fit for the life of an eight year old girl ... tops ten years (no pun). It is filled with so much hate for none Amish. I have read number of Amish romance books and I have grown to respect their simple ways, but this book is so much hate filled to non Amish. Suggesting that God kills someone for drinking alcohol and for buying a car! I am truly horrified. Encouraging girls to SLAP sin out of men! So horrible! First, alcohol non consumption is not restricted to Amish or medically impaired people only. There are "Englishers" who by self restriction do not consume Alcohol (not that I mean alcohol is a sin,.but I believe it's intoxication is a sin).  It sounds like the Amish in this book are not simple but are proud of the fact that they do not adhere to the world and they read their German Bible... reminding me of the Pharisee that boasted of his righteousness in the temple. If you know you are saved then where is the Grace by which you are saved? It is by Faith not knowledge that we are saved. This book is horrible. It has done real damage to my Amish view.
