Beautiful and heartwarming story. I loved the characters and the bonds that were between them. I would love to read more books by this author in the future and will be looking for them. I would highly recommend it to those who enjoy Amish romances and Christian themed stories.

One of Sarah Price's best stories
I read one of Sarah Price 's books on the recommendation of a friend. And then, I promptly fell into the rabbit role of the author's Amazon list and have read well over a dozen of the author's stories. I was a little hesitant about this book, for the death of a friend and a mother is a storyline, I prefer to avoid. This story was exceptionally lovely however and I will carry Rebecca, Faith and Manny around with me for a while. ... Enjoy!

This is the book about two best friends, one Amish and one Mennonite who made a promise years ago. When Rebecca, the Amish girl, dies in childbirth many years later her best friend follows through on that promise. This book goes through a lot of the basics of Amish culture and faith which is something I’m very interested in. A very enjoyable book that shows what a true G-dly marriage is and the importance of keeping promises. This book has a few light kissing scenes. I’d recommend this for older teenagers and above.

I loved this book and I am sad that I have finished it. I want the story to continue. This is an amazing story of two best friends and their love for each other even though they come from different back grounds. Rebecca asks Faith to promise her that if something were to happen to her, that Faith would take care of her children and help her husband. Faith makes a lot of changes in her own life in order to keep her promise to her friend. This is a fast paced read and with no long drawn out dead spots that some books have.

Faith Landes loses her best friend only to gain a family of six children and their father when she honors the promise she made to their mother when they were teens and later, when Rebecca was near death.
But will it be a marriage of convenience only or will Faith and Manuel come to terms with the feelings they've been hiding for years?

Amish Faith
This is the best book of Sarah’s I have read yet. In fact, this is the best book I’ve read this pandemic year. Thank you, Sarah for making me smile and cry at the same time. These characters deserve a sequel and I’m anxiously waiting for it.........Please
You all won’t be sorry that you read this wonderful book.

This book was a book group selection. Pleasant enough to listen to and it was interesting to learn more about the difference between the Amish and the Mennonite cultures and religion, but the writing was less than exciting, the story was predictable and I really don’t consider it a good book group choice. I don’t know what there will be to discuss about it.

Wow! I am in awe.
This story. I am almost speechless. From start to finish my emotions were peaked. A beautiful story of bestest friends, full of happiness, and sorrow and yet peace and love. Powerful from beginning to end.

I loved this book!! Great story!! Love this author's books!!

The reviews for this book were so good on Amazon that I decided to give it a shot. I found it repetitive and predictable. It's a bit like one long Amish stereotype (I think the only thing missing from this book is a barn-raising.). Edited: SPOILER: It was late last night when I finished this and I forgot to add that I thought that the set-up of the best friend with the husband was super creepy. It was noted that since Rebecca was a young girl she chose to "leave" her children and her husband to her best friend. I didn't find this to be a "romantic" concept at all.

I read this story twice. Story of a lifelong friendship. Two girls..one Amish and one Mennonite who grow up together. Faith and Rebecca despite being raised differently are lifelong friends. Neither knows that a promise made as youths will come into play when a tragedy happens. Does God really have a planned journey for our lives? It was a good story. Somewhat predictable after you have read so many Amish fiction stories but still a good read.

A wonderful story of friendship, faith and love. Rebecca and Faith become good friends as children even though Rebecca is Amish and Faith is Mennonite. A promise is made and kept by Faith that alters her life.

This book was about losing a very best friend, Rebecca, and changing your life, Faith's, to carry out your friend's last wishes. Really enjoyed this book. I was a little disturbed about Rebecca's unwillingness to see a doctor or communicating her condition to her husband.

I have read many of Sarah's works. When I opened this book I could not put it down. Sarah you wrote a masterpiece. The story brought me in and evoked emotions (tears) as I read through the book. What a story of love.

Loved this story about a Mennonite girl and an Amish girl who become best friends.
With God and the Amish girl preparing the Mennonite girl for the future of what's to come in life.

Who would have thought that when Manny saved Faith from drowning as a child that she would save him and his family of five plus the baby when her bestest friend Rebecca dies in childbirth.

If you enjoy reading Amish novels, you will enjoy this. I could not put this book down! The combination of friendship, love, and sacrifice all rolled up in one.

I loved this book. Faith and Manuel are a great couple. I am hoping for a sequel so we can follow their lives together. It is absolutely wonderful to read about goodness.
