I read this book in one setting. An amazing book dealing with honesty, mental health issues, church unity and acceptance of differences. Ms Fisher is a true master at creating an enticing tale and at the same time addressing serious issues that impact many people not just in the Amish community but for all. She hits head on the stigma associated with mental illness and how much damage we can cause our loved ones by not reaching out and helping others receive proper treatment. The book has a much broader theme of being honest with oneself and reaching out for dreams despite fear or opposition. There's a lot packed into this book about relationships personal and within the fellowship of a church body. But it is in no way a dry reading. I couldn't stop turning pages once I started. A delightful part of the book was each chapter had a short blurb about a specific bird and its symbolism in the Bible or for Christians.
I received this book from the publsihers but was not requird to write a positive review.
