I love reading about the Amish and this book does not disapoint you. It takes you into the peaceful world of the Amish. The characters are very endearing and I enjoyed the book very much. Hope this author writes more like it. If you like Brunstetter and Lewis you will like this book.

I read everything about the Amish. This book is excellent. I read all of Brunstetter & Lewis & Harper & Borntrager. NOW, I will be reading all that Eicher writes about the Amish. This is a complete novel, not one that leaves you hanging for a year till the next book is written. A very nice job of writing, keep up the good work, GOD BLESS.

I do not feel this book was anywhere close to being on a par with the writings of either Beverly Lewis or Wanda Brunstetter. Many of the sentences were poorly constructed and choppy. The characters were undeveloped and unbelievable as Amish. The author added quite a few unrealistic story plots and made the Amish behave in ways totally uncharacteristic of acutal Amish. How many Amish go around calling each other "little creeps" or refer to other members of their church in that fashion? How many Amish women go around tainting jars of Ponds Cold Cream hoping an Amish girl will burn her skin with it?? How many Amish feel that being rich is a very desirable trait in a husband for their daughter? I could list inconsistency after inconsistency, but will stop with this: just how many Amish girls choose a light cream-colored cloth for their wedding dress???!!!

surprised by such a difference in a male writer and a female one on amish discription of this beautiful awesome amish girl. just breath taking and almost over done with all the discription of her. otherwise a good story, that was the only thing that sort of went against the grain

If you like reading about the Amish then this book will not disappoint. I've passed it along and my friends loved it too.

I truly enjoyed "SARAH". The in general writing is a "see Spot run" experience, but more important was the realness with which Mr. Eicher expressed the Amish way. I could feel his ownership of these happenings and their impact on an Amish life.

I look forward to "SARAH'S SON". Thankyou Mr. Eicher

Greatfylly, Peggy

I agree that this book did not hold my interest! It went from one plot to another. I will not be reading any more of this authors books.

I agree with the other comment about it now being on par with Wanda Brunstetter and Beverly Lewis novels. I doubt I will read other books by this author.

This is one of the best books ever. I couldn't lay it down. Very clean. Donna
