About this book:
“Slipping. Lydia Bontrager's youngest sister is frighteningly ill, and as a good Amish daughter, it falls to Lydia to care for her siblings and keep the household running, in addition to working as a teacher's assistant and helping part time at her grandmother's bakery. Succumbing to stress, Lydia gives in to one wild night and returns home drunk. The secret of that mistake leaves Lydia feeling even more restless and confused, especially when Joshua, the only boy she's ever loved, becomes increasingly distant. When a non-Amish boy moves in nearby, Lydia finds someone who understands her, but the community is convinced Lydia is becoming too reckless. With the pressures at home and her sister's worsening condition, a splintering relationship with Joshua, and her own growing questions over what is right, Lydia could lose everything that she's ever held close.”
Series: As of now, no.

My
personal Rating-
{I couldn’t completely connect with Lydia since she
has such a huge responsibility of being the oldest sibling}
Another fabulous book by Mrs. Amy Clipston!
Check out the interview with her,
meeting her and reviews of her books “Roadside Assistance” and “DestinationUnknown”. :)
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
