The third and final book of the Amish Fairytale series is a retelling of Snow White! Sadie Whitaker meets a kindred spirit in the woods near her house and soon begins her first courtship. Meanwhile, her life at home becomes increasingly troublesome as her stepmother’s true colors start to show. I love how human Sadie’s stepmother is! From the beginning, her pain and anger are very real and empathetic, and the way she chooses to direct her jealousy toward her stepdaughter is understandable, as wrong as it is. ( )

While this one wasn't the strongest of the three books in the Amish Fairy Tale trilogy, it was still an enjoyable read. Sadie is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty with an Amish twist. Sadie tries hard to be the perfect daughter and a trustworthy friend. It can be very trying though with her stepmother, whose vanity, desperate attempts to get pregnant, and moodiness are constantly trying Sadie's patience. Everything appears to be looking up though when a charming young man stumbles across Sadie singing in the woods, he starts to drive her home after youth gatherings and Sadie thinks their might be more than a friendship developing. All her hopes are dashed though when her stepmother keeps making her cook and clean for a widow with nine children. Is there something more dastardly afoot? Is she trying to marry Sadie off so she can selfishly have her father all to her self? The ending was a bit much, even for me. But I still enjoyed it. I hope there are more Amish fairy tale retellings coming!! ( )

This is the third book in this series that I have read, and loved that there are some recurring characters, but each story can and does stand alone.
I kept wondering while I was reading this and was almost three fourths through when the dwarfs made their appearance, and loved how they were written in.
We all know the original Snow White, but this is the same, but so different with the Amish twist.
Living their faith, really comes into play here with the forgiveness, ultimate, and yet a sin is a sin.
This one was hard to put down once I began, and the pages were quickly flying.

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
