I enjoy reading something different and thought provoking and this fits the bill. It reminded me of a movie I love called The Butterfly Effect but this involves Amish characters. Have you ever wondered if you could change one thing in life would you? If so would it affect others around you? This gives you things to ponder and think about even after you are finished. I love the characters and could identify with the pain and heartbreak they experienced. They are relatable and show how when dealing with unbearable pain it’s easy to make decisions you might regret. I love a book that sweeps me away into another time or place and it doesn’t have to be factual to be a great story. That’s what a story is a way to be entertained while maybe learning a lesson such as decisions have consequences not just for you but others around you. I throughly enjoyed this book. I won a copy of this book and I’m thankful I did. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required. I usually do not like to read fantasy, but this one was an exception! The pain of loss, the ache of not having a live baby, and Eliza decides to change the past, and thus affecting the future. The saying "be careful what you wish for" she shows itself here. Yes, we all have things that if we could go back in time, we would do differently or change, but we never think that the changes we make in our lives has ramifications on others. This is an Amish story that is so very different, and we journey with Eliza and Jesse, but there are other couples involved here, and decisions change their lives too. This quickly became a page turner for me, I had to know how things were going to turn out! Now I wish I could continue on in the lives of these folks that I now care about! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale House, and was not required to give a positive review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Eliza Bontrager and Jesse Ebersol have fallen in love and are determined to marry, despite the belief of their Amish community and respective families that there's a hidden curse-one that only shows up when an Ebersol and Bontrager marry. Before the ceremony on the day of the wedding, Eliza's great-aunt Rose gives her a family heirloom quilt and tells her that she may use it to change one event in the past. Eliza appreciates the woman's heart, but she dismisses the strange conversation while keeping the beautiful quilt. Several years later, mourning the loss of their third child, Eliza discovers her inability to deliver a healthy baby is genetic. Remembering her great-aunt's strange words, she decides that if she can go back in time and reject Jesse's proposal, she can save him the heartache of a childless marriage. Her sacrifice will allow him to marry someone else and raise a family. But once she puts her plan into action, she discovers the true impact of her decision-on Jesse and so many others within their community. "-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I liked the emphasis on how one person's life and decisions can impact many. It really made me consider the effect of my life on others. My favorite quote is: " God was the same God, and He was everywhere. Talking to Him was the easiest thing in the world. It felt like coming home." So true. God is always there.
My favorite character is Ruth. She's faithful, compassionate, loving, and forgiving. Eliza is complicated. She goes through much grief and pain. She ultimately realizes that God's plan is the right plan!
This book is a definite must-read! It's entertaining, and it is thought-provoking! ( )
