Cara Moore had a rough upbringing in the foster care system and life didn't treat her well after she ran away at age 15. Now on the run from an abusive stalker, Cara finds herself grasping for one small hint to her past which she found hidden in her mother's journal. When she arrives in Dry Lake, PA, homeless and exhausted, the Amish community doesn't quite know what to think about her. It turns out they know a lot more about where Cara came from than she knows herself! Yet only one steps up to show Christ's love to Cara and her daughter Lori... and it may end up turning the community upside down.

I was a fan of Amish fiction before it became hugely popular and now try to only stick with old favorites because some of what is being written just does not jive with the actual Amish I was privileged to live near and know during my teenage years. Woodsmall is an excellent author, although with this story I felt we got to the end and bam-bam-bam things wrapped up a little too nicely for the sequel coming up soon, unless the sequel is going to focus on a different set of characters.

(Note: I did read the second book and reviewed it here.)
