5.0 out of 5 stars Plain Meets Fancy, February 21, 2007

By	Barbara Warren - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Laura Meade is attending a scool for interior design in Lancaster County and hopes to pick up some decorating tips from the Amish who live there. She goes to a market and meets Eli Yoder, resulting in an instant attraction between them. Although Darla Shelby, who lives in the same dorm with Laura, and is familiar with the Amish and their lifestyle, warns her against becoming involved with Eli, Laura can't seem to avoid him. She disregards Darla's warning that plain and fancy don't mix. After all, there aren't any problems too big for love to solve.

Neither his parents nor hers are happy about the growing friendship, and even Laura and Eli have reservations. Is the gulf between his world and hers too deep to cross? This is a compassionate story about a man and a woman caught between two cultures. Another good book from Wanda Brunstetter

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!, June 24, 2007

By	W. Johnston (Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All of Wanda Brunstetter books are wonderful. This book was fun to read because the main character was not Amish but fell in love with an Amish man. It is about her converting to the Amish ways. It is informative and yet tells a story you can't put down.
