I received a copy of this book from The Fiction Guild. I was not required to give a favorable review. I thoughts are my own. When you put 4 wonderful writers together of course you are going to get 4 great stories. Each of them have to do with young people who are taking summer getaways or time to find the true loves of their lives. When you realize that not many of the Amish takes vacations like Englishers do because they have a lot of work to do on their farms it nice to see that there are places for them to go. And especially when their is a place of young adults to find love. And then it’s nice to see the the fine are of writing letters to each other is not a lost art. I think even a short letter is something that is still tangible in someones hand. It shows you took time to think of the other person.
