![]() I loved seeing the personal growth in both Michael and Amelia. They lose touch with each other for awhile due to a misunderstanding, but find their way together again after each has found their way to the lives they were meant to lead. When it is time for her to leave, she and Michael stay in touch for a long while, learning more about each other and expanding their friendship. I really liked the way she was able to help Michael with his niece, and the way she became such good friends with Joanna. When she visits Hickory Hollow she is drawn to the simpler life she experiences there. Amelia is tired of touring but doesn't know how to tell her father and the others who expect a great future from her. ![]() He is caught between two worlds - his Amish life, helping his father, and his English life, working as an architect and enjoying all the outside world has to offer. Michael really wants to leave the Amish community, but is afraid of disappointing his family and friends. Each is able to listen to the other without judging, thereby giving them a chance to explore options. I loved the way that Amelia and Michael are able to relate to each other despite their very different backgrounds. He invites her to come to Hickory Hollow for a few days to relax. Amelia and Michael connect right away, each recognizing a fellow lost soul. Amelia is a concert violinist, also trying to decide her future. He is staying in a cabin, basically hiding out from his Amish life, trying to decide if he wants to leave it. Amelia is rescued from the rainstorm and a flat tire by Michael. Hand holding only and not until the very end. He loved her and was heart broken, but she's not mentioned much in the story. H & h - Probably virgins, although it's not mentioned at all. Not going to read any more by this author, but if you're into squeaky clean with no conflict and lots of angst. The H & h didn't even tell each other their feelings until 98%. ![]() H & h spent little to NO time together in the whole book.ĭidn't care for the hero's whole ex fiancee thing in the beginning and how she broke off the engagement leaving him broken hearted. Neither H nor h fought for the other, though the H grew some balls and eventually went after her. Not going to summarize, just point out what I liked and what didn't care for. ![]()
