Series ✦ Penny’s Take
A Lancaster Amish Prayer for Jacob

58/100
👎 Skip It
Jacob caught between the Amish family who took him in and the birth mother trying to reclaim him is genuinely touching material for younger readers, handled with care. It's book 2 of a long series with no outside reviews behind it, so I'm mostly going on the strength of the premise itself.
