Hannah was such an amazing character that you instantly loved her and everything about her. It made me cry in so many ways and then also rejoice with things that happened.

Hannah said yes knowing that this relationship could change everything for her, she was going outside tradition and the affect could be damaging. He proposed to Hannah before he left for college his senior year. He was in college but came every summer to the community in which Hannah lived to help his grandmother and Hannah worked for his grandmother and that is how they became friends.

This is about a young Amish girl named Hannah who was in love with a Mennonite named Paul for three years. ![]() I don't know where to begin about how I felt about this story. ![]()
