                                                We're on day 8 of the count down!







About this book:

   “When schoolteacher Jodi Winfield goes for a morning run, the last thing she expects is to find a disheveled little girl all alone on the side of the Pennsylvania road, clad only in her undergarments, her chubby cheeks streaked with tears. Jodi takes the preschooler home with her, intending to find out where she belongs. But Jodi is mystified when no one seems to know of a missing child, and the girl herself is no help, since she can't speak a word of English. It's as if the child appeared out of nowhere.
  As the days pass, Jodi becomes increasingly attached to the mysterious girl, yet she is no closer to learning her identity. Then an unexpected opportunity brings Jodi to Hickory Hollow--and into the cloistered world of the Lancaster Old Order Amish. Might the answers lie there?



 Series: “Home to Hickory Hollow” book #3 (book #1, “The Fiddler” here and book #2, “The Bridesmaid” here!)


Spiritual Content- Romans 12:2; Scriptures are quoted & Prayers are said; Jodi’s not happy with God “for taking her sister”.

Pre-Teens-

New Teens (13&14) and up-

My personal Rating- 
(and a half)

Just like the second book in this series, “The Bridemaid” (review here!), “The Guardian” is a good clean book for 12 and up. It might not keep the interest of Pre- & New Teens though since it’s features marrying & courtship, but if you like that kind of book you’d probably love it! :)

See you on Monday for our last day of the countdown!





*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
