Having taken vacations yearly to Lancaster County all through my childhood and often in my adulthood I was especially drawn to this book.It did not disappoint.It is beautifully written and filled with charming characters and full of knowledge about the Plain People. I can't wait to finish the series so I can find out the ending of all these dramas.I have to know what happens to people who are so well defined they make you feel you know them in life.Read this enjoy it and you'll agree.
