    I 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.

    I 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.

    This is one of my favorite fictional reads. It will encourage your walk with the Lord and inspire you to keep a journal.

    Definitely 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! :-)

    One of my favorite books for women, this describes the journey of a woman in life and faith. The ups, downs, misunderstandings and all.

    This 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.
