Anna's Return was a thriller and romance rolled into one. It was very refreshing. This one kept me on the edge of my seat to the end.

I loved this book as well as the entire series. My memory not being what it used to be, I wanted to re-read the first four books in the series so that I would be ready for the fifth book. I am now eagerly awaiting the arrival of Katie's Way.

I enjoyed this story that is the third in a series. I didn't realize that and hadn't read the first two, but had no trouble understanding what was going on. This is the story of an Amish girl (Anna) that returns to her Amish family after three years away. Anna arrives with a baby and a bit of a mystery. I've visited Amish communities in Pennsylvania and Illinois and am intrigued by the Amish lifestyle, so a good read about them is always fun for me.
LOVED IT! Good job bringing the Amish and English together!
Nice story. I just love these Amish stories.
A delightful Amish read!
Nice story.
Another excellent book!! I love her writing style.
Great story of faith and trust in family.
I absolutely adored all three books in this series and can't wait to read more by Ms. Perry. I have been studying and reading about the Amish since I was 12 (I am now 39) and these are by far my favorite. I love the calm, peaceful feeling that came over me as I read them. The peace and spirit of the Plain People really shone in these books. Please let there be more!
it was. OK book a little boring
This was my favorite in the series. It was fun to see Anna mature and come back to the Amish community. It was also interesting to see how she adjusted after living in the English world for three years.
Great book! definitely brought the English world and the Amish world together. It also showed the value of love and support in a family system. Great read!
I really enjoyed this book, the 3rd book in the Pleasant Valley series! Awesome story of how family and faith can help you through many challenges in life.
