This is book 1 of 6 books in the series, it is a very small and short book. Luke and Meredith are Amish living in Lancaster County, PA. When Luke loses his job, he makes the decision to take on a new opportunity and make a quick trip to Middlebury for job training. Luke leaves Meredith on the farm by herself to take care of things while he is gone. While he is gone Meredith finds out she is expecting there first child and has to make the decision when is the perfect time to tell Luke. The book ends as Luke is traveling and he is mugged during a bus stop, and the book leaves us hanging as to what happens.
I did enjoy this book, however, I don't like the part of it being a very small book and only 121 pages. I would prefer the whole story in one novel. I don't think I would spend the money to purchase all 6 books. The price would be to costly as to purchasing one book.

As an avid reader, I have set this up for friends and family to be able to see what I have read and to review each book. I read so many books each month that this is my way of organizing my readings. ENJOY!

When Donkeys Talk ~ Tyler Blanski
This book was very hard for me to understand, it is not an easy read and requires full attention to what you are reading. The book has a great thought to it, and in the first chapter I was really interested. However, after that it was a repeat of material and started to confuse me as I lost the meaning of the message to the book.
The theme of the book is (?, I think) what the donkey is the symbol of in the bible and the story of Balaam. I feel that this book is more for theologian's, and not for readers that don't want to concentrate while reading. It is a heavy read with a good meaning, wish it would have been written on a lighter note to reach more people.
I would not recommend this book to people who are looking for a light read or an lazy afternoon read. You will have to pay attention and take your time to stop and think after reading this book.
