Historical Fiction

This is a Historical Amish Fiction. I just found this story to not pull me into it, and it was a very slow moving story. I did not think this was the author for me. I do not think this is a bad book, but it is just not the book from me. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
