This gifted author shows such talent as she presents a story I enjoyed from beginning to end. As I read The Tomato Patch I could see and feel the peaceful lifestyle she so beautifully shares as she creates a story filled with heart and purpose. The story carries the reader into the world and life of the Amish and the beautiful simplicity that can become complicated even in a way that all can relate to as the story developes. The deep emotions and feelings the characters experience are vividly portrayed as choices and decisions must be made resulting in consequences they will live with.

Sarah has decided to do a series of "morality" novellas that target both Young Adults & Adults. All keeping with the Amish theme that she is noted for.

In this particular book, Priscilla Smucker finds herself receiving unwanted attention in the community over an upcoming charity event at the local Mennonite church. When jealousy turns to bullying, Priscilla and her friends find themselves in some tough situations. In today's world, there is a large focusing on bullying. Most of that focus is on bullying via the internet. Sarah brings to light that bullying can happen anywhere. Even among the Amish.

I've read Sarah's other books and consider her among the best of the Amish fiction authors. I am always anxious at the news of an upcoming new novel she has written. When Sarah approached me to provide book discussion questions for this book, I was honored. After reading the book, the material and content of it made compiling the questions an easy task for me. Her knowledge of the amish way, her compassion in caring for those who are bullied, and her flare for romance is all wrapped up in this small book.
