"This was a really nice book written in the 50's about an Amish girl deciding about her place in the world. There was a lot to talk about in this book, it took us over a week, although it was good enough to read in one sitting by yourself.
I did think a lot of the conversations we had were over my 5 year old's head, and my 7 year old got most of them, but probably not all.
These are hard things to decide, I think. Things I still haven't figured out for myself. I like books like this that make you think."
* "She was taught always to return one kindness with another. Or perhaps even with two."
* "Always, her whole life, Esther had learned what kindness was. It was to think of others before yourself. It was to think of their comport before your own."
* "Whenever she made a good prayer she felt peaceful afterward. Every prayer she had ever made for a good and necessary thing had always been answered."
* Esther is an Amish girl who has to go to public school because of Pennsylvania compulsory law. She is the only Amish child there. She feels out of place because of her dress. She is truly befriended by a sweet little girl that doesn't care that Esther doesn't "fit" in.
* This is not a "have to" read book, but there are definitely things you can talk with your children about. And because I, like the characters, belong to minority religion, I would like to talk to my daughter about some of the issues this book brings up."
"I read this outloud to my 10 year old daughter. We both enjoyed it. It is a sweet story about making choices between old & new traditions and ways of life."
