Enjoyed the facts, fiction and story
I anxiously await books by Cindy Woodsmall. The story presentation is very interesting and challenges me to "just keep on reading" to see what happens next.

Another great story from Cindy Woodsmall!
I found this book to be very enjoyable. Once I got into the story and the characters, I had a really hard time putting the book down. Lena has lived her whole life with a birthmark on her face and has struggled with the comments and remarks that have come with that. She is a wonderful young woman who loves teaching her students and wants to help them in every way possible. Her story is one of coming to an understanding of herself. I enjoyed her story, Grey's story, and the many other stories in the book. The details of Amish life are always so interesting to me, and Cindy Woodsmall does a great job capturing so many aspects of Amish life. This book had some very intense moments, twists, and turns, which just added to the draw of the story. I find the books in this series so interesting for several reasons: there's romance, there's suspense, there's faith, there's Amish life, and so much more. I have so many thoughts swirling through my head about this book, but I can't seem to capture them well. I really found it to be another great story from Cindy Woodsmall. She really has a way of bringing Amish life to life for her reader. I look forward to the next book in this series. I'm hoping that some loose ends get tied up! I so enjoy reading about each characters struggles and challenges and joys! If you love Amish fiction, you will certainly enjoy this story!!

Crossing the Bridge of Peace
About the Book: The Bridge of Peace is the second book in the AdaâÂÂs House trilogy by Cindy Woodsmall but is a stand alone. This book is the first one I have read and I am looking forward to reading more. I am especially looking forward to her third book that should be in bookstores in early Fall 2011.
Summary: Lena Kauffman is an Amish schoolteacher whose outspoken and independent ways surprise and upset members of the Amish community in which she lives. Lena has a birthmark on her face and believes that this makes her flawed and unlovable. Her life as a teacher is not easyâ¦.and a series of events threatens her position as a teacher.
About the Author: Cindy Woodsmall is an excellent storyteller as she unravels the tale through her charactersâ everyday relationships. The plot of this book is very engaging and I just could not put it down. The author obviously knows the ins and outs of the Amish world so well that it makes the reader feel as if they are right there observing life in a peaceful Amish town of Dry Lake.
My Thoughts: There several good Amish fiction writers, but IâÂÂd have to say that this one would be my number one pick. This is a must read.
