A fun short novel about a couple who once knew each other as Amish youngsters, and who meet unexpectedly in a realtor's office years later. (Which was hilarious, since it involved an upturned coffee cup on Katie's head...you might wish to read the book just for that laugh. And perhaps for the scene of Karl driving a wagon wearing jeans and talking on a cell phone while a tourist snaps a photo...)
I liked how they worked through their relationship and how Katie handled her father's illness. I also found the ending very satisfying, with how they dealt with the question of what their future and relationship with their Amish family would look like.
