My Thoughts:
I enjoy reading about the Amish way of life even if I do not agree with their ways. It is always interesting to see which author will come up with another book and Murray Pura is one I have never read his work. I recieved the a copy of this Paperback book for my review from Wynn-Wynn Media, LLC. Thanks Jeane
As Lyyndaya Kurtz is working in the family garden she heard something she though was bees and then she saw that it was aeroplanes. There were six of them and one broke away and few even closer to the ground and a hand came out and waves at her. Then it landed in her papa's field. She could not believe her eyes when a young man got out, and as all the children and Lyyndaya ran to meet him it was Jude a friend of Lyyndaya's she could not believe he flew from Philadelphia just to see her. No one knew they were counting, as was a coustom of the Amish youth. This was something that the
Amish did not do and it really was not too appealing to Lyyndaya's dad.
