I liked the idea of this story more than I ended up enjoying the story itself. A new teacher, a death in the family, a mystery and a small town in Ireland all sound like a recipe for a great story. However, it all left me a bit flat. I liked the supporting characters more than I ended up liking the main characters. The main characters just weren't fleshed out enough and felt rushed.

This book was received as an ARC from Revell in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book was so inspirational and relatable that it made me enjoy this book even more. Everything that was going on in Moira's life I could apply it to my real life and it almost felt like I was reading my life story except for the part where my mother passed away and not living the Amish lifestyle. Losing someone that was your livelihood can be pretty tough but if you are strong enough, life can throw you many curveballs that can help realize what your real purpose in life is giving you the life you thought could never have. Reading this book immediately made me count my blessings and be thankful for the people in my life and the path I am on. I know this will be a story that will be passed on and enjoyed throughout our community.

We will consider adding this title to our Christian Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
