I quit reading Amish Fiction for a while because a lot of what I was reading was so syrupy sweet, but this book isn't that way at all. I have never encountered a protagonist I liked less, but Hannah's chip on her shoulder was hard to overcome.
Hannah and her family are struggling to keep their farm going since her father died in a tragic accident. Leon Milford has been hired by Hannah's mother to help out around the farm, especially with the apple harvest. Hannah hates Leon--as much as an Amish person hates. Her tongue is sharp and she doesn't allow Leon to see a tender side, but for some reason, Leon begins to care for Hannah.
Leon has his own problems--he has a reputation as a prankster to overcome and Hannah refuses to see that he's grown up.
This book was hard to read; Mindy Steele has not given her protagonists likable personalities. Secondary characters are more likable but are underhanded in their actions. The whole book left me feeling "meh." Two stars.
