Her relationship with Paul seems to have the problem of a lack of communication. I did not like her sister at all, I have a feeling that there will be more trouble making from her. Hannah's whole life seems to be doomed from the beginning with Murphy's law just waiting for her at every corner. It's one thing for the girl to blame herself from feelings of self guilt, but it's totally wrong when the PARENTS blame her for what happened. I really hate it when I read about how the victim is blamed for the attack. However, that is no reason to blame your daughter for her getting raped! Then to top it off, the family doesn't press charges on the guy even though he might very well go and do the same thing to other women in the community! Rape is something in books that I feel justice must be served. I know that the Amish do not like to bring attention to themselves and are willing to forgive even the most heinous of crimes. Without spoiling the entire story, I was very disappointed at the way Hannah's situation was treated. I just dreaded reading about the horrible things that kept happening to Hannah and seeing how badly she was being treated by everyone especially her parents. This book unfortunately did not make my favorites list in this genre. I usually devour Amish fiction like there's no tomorrow. However this book took me a month and a half to finish. Normally it'll take me a couple days to a week to finish a book. Just when Hannah thinks nothing could go worse, another event takes place that makes her young life become even more painful than it should be.This was probably one of the most difficult books I've ever had to read. Worse yet, she is not able to contact her fiance to tell her what happened, causing him to think she wants to end the relationship. To make matters worse, her whole family has seemed to turn against her, offering her no help in her tragic situation. But before she can rejoice in the prospect of a new life, an unthinkable incident happens to her. She finds this opportunity when her Mennonite boyfriend proposes to her and she accepts. Hannah Lapp has grown up in the Old Order Amish ways but has decided she wants to break free.
