This book by Judith Miller seems to be the first in a new series called Daughters of Amana. The book is set in a Christian colony called Amana - similar to an Amish or Mennonite colony but no particular group is named. This story follows two girls - Berta and Johanna - who are both trying to figure out what direction their lives will take. Berta just moved to Amana while Johanna has lived there her whole life.
The story line of this book caught my attention from the beginning. Watching two young women whose lives to this point had been so different and who were thrown together in a unique environment at a pivotal point in both their lives was very interesting. I enjoyed watching Berta and Johanna mature as they also became good friends. While this book is complete in itself, I can see several other stories waiting to be told. I'm also looking forward to learning more about the citizens of Amana in future books.
In the interest of full disclosure, I received a copy of this book from the publisher, but the views expressed are entirely my own.
