Finding the Way

This book was, in my opinion, an accurate portrayal of feelings of young to middle teenage girls, of any faith, when illness and tragedy come into their lives. It was also a very good example of the bond of friendship among these girls and the feelings they have toward their best friend and confidant.

Finding the Way

When I began reading the book, I thought that it was not going to hold my attention. I read a lot of books, especially about the Amish, and I know what I like. But after I got past the first couple of chapters, I was amazed how involved I had gotten in the story. This was a wonderful read. The book flowed well and the story line kept me reading. All in all a wonderful read.

Did anybody proofread this book?!

I'm a big fan of fiction writing about the Amish way of life. I live within a short drive of Millersburg, Ohio, & often visit the area. I thought this book would be a nice, simple read on a topic I enjoy. Wrong! It's next to impossible to follow- never in my life have I read a book with more typographical errors. There are missing quotation marks on nearly every page, it seems. A character is speaking, and then isn't, but then was actually speaking all along but the end quotes were simply forgotten. It's bizarre. The plot jumps from point to point without transition & as I was reading I found my mind wandering more along the lines of the "What were they thinking when this was published?" train of thought rather than being involved in the horrid plot. If you want to read about the Amish in a fictional setting, Beverly Lewis is the way to go. Trust me on this one- save your money!!

OUTSTANDING BOOKI

GREAT READING THE BOOK WAS WRITING LIN A WAY THAT KEEP YOUR INTRESTED. THE AUTHOR DID A EXCELLENT JOB WITH THE MATERIAL SHE PRESENTED

A Heart-Touching Work!

Since I used to be Amish, I love to buy other Amish books. I wasn't prepared for all the tears that would flow while reading, "Finding the Way." Elizabeth's friendship with Rachel is so dear-even when times get tough. I recommend this wonderful Amish book to all who love to read a great book. I can't wait to read more of Ms. Yoder's books!
