This was cute and sweet and I really liked Anna and Samuel. ( )

Great Amish Fiction Read!

Anna’s Gift was a great read. Real life issues were brought out in this story.

Anna Yoder, has very low self esteem. I couldn’t believe how rude some of the people were to her. This included some of her own family members. Anna can not believe that any man could ever love someone as plain as she is. She thinks of herself as fat and ugly.

Samuel Mast, bless his heart, sees Anna in a different light. Can he win her hand in marriage?

There are some serious issues in this story too. I’m sure there will be many readers that can relate to them as I have.

All in all, this story teaches you to place your trust in God, believe in yourself, always show kindness to others and treat others as you would want them to treat you.

I like Anna's character alot. Reading thru this book with such a likeable character make it easy and smooth for me. ;) Anna, depicted as a plump and not so pretty as compared to her other sisters, has always have a low self-esteemed. Hence, when Samuel make his intention to court her, she was so surprised that she fell of the ladder! Nevertheless, due to her inferior complex, she have a hard time in convincing herself that Samuel is in love with her and not for other reasons. Her confusion was also fuel by all the negative opinions from the ones that she trust making it worse for her to accept him eventhough deep down she wanted to. I like reading the ending of the book and at last, Anna found her true love ! ;) ( )
