I liked the main character, Joanna Kurtz, age 24, several times a bridesmaid but getting to the age in her Amish community where she might be called an old maid or Maidel. Her younger sister. Cora Jane was trouble. Joanna could not trust her. Cora Jane was sneaky and wanted to get Joanna trouble. I wondered about this and was disappointed that Beverly Lewis did not go more in deep with that character.

Joanna met a responsible and caring man, Fben Troyer and they immediately liked each other. They were at a funeral at Virginia Beach. Unfortunately, Joanna lived in Hickory Hollow and he in Indiana so it had to be a long distance courtship. Eben also had trouble with his sibling. His younger brother had become enchanted with airplanes and wanted to fly like a bird. This background helped a lot in understanding why his brother left the Amish community to live on the outside He had no grudge against Eben, he just to be a pilot. Eben father is insistent that Eben's brother come back and and care for the family farm before Eben can leave to marry Joanna.

This seems like an impossible situation. I enjoyed most of the book but was troubled by why Cora Jane was wanting to get Joanna in trouble. I wanted more depth. I still recommend this book to fans of Beverly Lewis. ( )

Joanna Kurtz has made several trips to the altar but never as a bride.
