"I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this review”.
Book Summary: Family, community, faith and love. These "quilt blocks" sewn together made Ariana's beautiful life. When they are pulled to pieces, will anything familiar remain?
The Old order Amish life Ariana Brenneman loved vanished virtually overnight with the discovery that she was switched at birth twenty years ago. Now she's immersed in the Englischer world, getting to know her mother and under the authority of her biological father, an atheist intellectual with resolute plans to expand Ariana's worldview. Only Quill Schlabach, a childhood friend living Englisch, can steady the tilting ground between Ariana's two worlds, but can she trust him after so many betrayals?
At the same time, Skylar Nash is forced to choose rehab or spending several months with her true relatives, the large Brenneman family and their seemingly backward life--no electricity, no technology, no fun. What the young woman can't leave behind is her addition to illegal prescription drugs and a deep emptiness from the belief that she doesn't belong in either family.
New ties are binding Ariana and Skylar to the lives they were meant to have. Can they find the wisdom and strength they'll need to follow God's threads into unexpected futures?
My Review: Wow! Even the Amish have their secrets! I knew how different the characters were going to be from the second I saw the cover. It was like a split screen of the same person, but in 2 different worlds. From the very beginning, the worry was there on how each girl would be able to survive this new world so unlike their own. Could they do it or would they buckle under the pressure? Would they leave their new life early and return to the only lives they ever knew? Hmm....Very nice read!
