Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-26 00:00:00 Jennifer Shirah If you want "insider information" about Amish life, you may be disappointed in this book. I think the book would be better titled without the "Insider Secrets" phrase. The book is really more about Anna's life journey. While being raised in the Amish culture, she was able to recognize that her upbringing was lacking in so many areas. She wanted much more in life and was brave enough to leave and change her life. Yes, the grammar and punctuation is poor. (I'm not sure how much education the author received...poor editing... or was it intentional?) But it's clear that Anna is genuine and kind and just wants to inspire and help others with her book.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-09 00:00:00 Robert Scharfe This book was extremely poorly edited. It was full of grammatical and spelling errors which I found disturbing, since the author had left the Amish (who only educate through 8th grade) obtained her GED and had two 2-year degrees in writing fields. However, I will give it props for the inspirational lessons the author imparts to her reader about dealing with verbal abuse, raising children and living life.
