- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I actually think this book is worth about a 3.5, but I round up :)I was recommended this book 5 years ago but I refused to read it (as I was in my "I hate God" phase...). I am glad that I decided to pick it back up. It combined two of my favorite genres (teenager diary, historical fiction) with a genre I have never read before, Christian fiction. A nice story about a young woman growing up in the early 1800s. It gave lovely glimspses into every day life, marriage, and families of the time. I was disappointed, however, by the fact that so many characters DIE!!! I guess this is being realistic, but it got to the point where I wasn't sure which of the protagonist's children were living and which were dead as they always seemed to be coming and going. I suppose this did structurally create the "trials" that then led Katy to God, an experience that was both relatable and encouraging to read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I LOVED this book. Amazing read. I think it was one of the first fiction books I ever read that changed my relationship with God. It is also the only novel to be added to my "read again" list.It is a novel that is like a diary. Sometimes you get day by day and sometimes entire years are skipped--adding to the "real" factor of this book. After reading it, I wanted to write a book that was a diary. But, I don't have the discipline to make time to fully pursue that dream yet.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of my favorite fictional reads. It will encourage your walk with the Lord and inspire you to keep a journal.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Definitely one of my favorite books and one that I recommend to all women to read. I think every 16 year old girl should read this to prepare for the future. It is a diary of one young girl into adulthood. Although it was written a long time ago it is still relevant today. It is a beautiful story of sanctification and spiritual maturity. If you haven't read this, hurry up! :-)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite books for women, this describes the journey of a woman in life and faith. The ups, downs, misunderstandings and all.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is such an honest view into a person's life and their struggle to become Christ like. It should be read at next once a year. So timely are the struggles she writes about you will forget it isn't from a current author.
