This is the second book I've won in a Goodreads Giveaway, and I'm so glad to have learned about that area of this website. Thank you to Goodreads/Ballentine Books for the copy. It was an easy, enjoyable read. Other reviewers have talked about the plot: it covers the theme of forgiveness, the teens are at first spoiled with their comfortable, upper middle class life, but when all comes crashing down and the family becomes homeless, they find meaning during a stay at Christmastime with an Amish family. The basic values of kindness and generosity become something that the whole family comes to realize is what is really important. I especially loved the baking scenes, where the women would all gather to make pies and other baked treats to sell at the local store. I think that is why I made an apple pie when I was done reading this book.
