The Redemption of Sarah Cain

By Beverly Lewis

When Sarah Cain's sister Ivy dies, leaving behind 5 orphaned children, Sarah is surprised to find herself named legal guardian. She and Ivy had never been close, even as children, and to think that Ivy would have wanted her children raised by Sarah is unthinkable. To complicate matters even further, Ivy and her family were Amish, where Sarah is not.

Every once in a while, I succumb to societal pressure and read a book I never would have considered before. I watched the first 5 minutes of this book as a Lifetime TV movie retitled "Saving Sarah Cain" and thought I'd give it a shot. It was an intriguing story, though I think the ending wouldn't really surprise anyone. But I never really felt like I understood why Ivy and Sarah had such trouble getting along as children, except for a typical sibling rivalry thing.

This book wasn't really my style, but it was something I wouldn't mind reading every once in a while.
