The 2nd book in the series,so much suspense-this book kept me reading late at night, did not want to put it down. I like how B.J.Hoff makes her characters so realistic, that makes one become really involved with them. Yes,at times I would find myself gasping or telling one of the characters to watch out! LOL! Also,I didn't mention before, that there is dog in the story, and I just loved him, I heard myself chuckle sometimes- at him,he was adorable! All in all,an awesome story by an awesome author! I like the book. It was a bit slower then the first one. I also felt that it started to repeat the same aguements over and over near the end of the book. I understand that the characters are establishing themselves and questioning there beliefs, but it felt that it was a bit repetitive. Rachel and Gant are at a stand still hi tried to get permission to join the Amish but was denied. and told to stay away from Rachel. They don't have too much contact in the book. Sofie (Rachel's good friend) uses her house as a destination on the underground railroad. she is attacked one night but doesn't survive. Another hard blow for the amish community. Rachel is still pursued by the deacon of the church. She doesn't like him repeatedly tells him to leave her alone. Not a nice character. Gideon is still struggling with his purpose in life. He works for Gant and the carpentry shop. He ends up helping out on the underground rail road, taking a trip with Asa and lots of runaway slaves. helps get them there safely and return safely as well. The Doctor really likes Susan, and eventually converts to the amish faith. There is a wedding at the end.
Do You like book Where Grace Abides (2009)?
2nd in the series just as good as the first. Fast paced and a lot going on made for a fast read.
