I'm not sure if this is the 2nd or 3rd book I've read in this series and I have enjoyed everyone of them. The author makes you feel like you are right in the story next to Jacob and Sarah fighting to survive.
As we all do, Jacob has to lean on and trust his faith as he joins his family in his new home and find his way in his new life.
Once again the author takes us on a page turning journey for Jacob and reminds us all of how God leads us even when we think he is not there.

I have read numerous books about the Amish way of life and each new one always brings something new
about their way of life. I am a great fan of Rachel Stoltfus, and I believe the writer makes the difference in how the book is presented and can hold your attention.

I found A Lancaster Amish Life for Jacob: Trials & Tribulations (The Lancaster Amish Home for Jacob Series) to be a great read. I got the book for my mother but I read it before I passed it along to her. She is so into these Amish stories I can tell you already that she will enjoy it a lot. I did too. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I've read the first three books in this series. I love Amish fiction. This
series has a different twist and has kept my interest. However, there are many errors in grammar and a character's name was changed. Closer proofreading and editing are needed.

Anyone who enjoys the Amish books will like this book. It is different from previous books, because it involves the
"taming" of an " abandoned and truant ward of the courts" who is sent, as a last resort to live with the Masts, an Amish
famly.. The Masts deal with this teenager with strict rules, but Love.

This may have been an interesting story line, but the poor writing & editing really caused me to cringe. I was reading this on my Kindle, but the editing should have been the same as a hard copy. Words were misspelled, grammar was bad, and even the character names were mixed up! I almost quit ready this one early on because of these errors being the same as in the first book and I had thought they would have been isolated to Book one. The story seemed to drag until Jacob finally had a spiritual experience, so it was at that time I thought that maybe it would get better. For that reason, I bought the next book, but I just gave up. The same errors were there and the story was dragging.

It is awesome that an Amish family cares enough to help a young troubled teen to take on a tough task in helping the young man change his life for the better. I wish this were so in real life.
