Amanda's Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I purchased this book to complete the series. I was not disapointed. I couldn't put the book down and finished it in the same day. Now I can't wait to read the series to my daughter. Thanks so much!

This book is a very good one and you won't want to put it down. One-fourth of this book is full of letters. Amanda is nice. Her friends are nice. Amanda's sister is cool. That is all.

Lovely Addition to the 'Girls of Lighthouse Lane' Series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The year is late 1905, and thirteen-year-old Amanda Morgan has not had it easy since her Mother died while giving birth to her six-year-old sister Hannah, when she was a mere seven-years-old. Since then, she has taken the role of Mother, and has kept house for her Father, the minister of Cape Light. When Amanda meets Jed Langford, a wonderful sixteen-year-old boy whom she thinks she may be in love with, she thinks that her Father will be happy. But soon finds that he doesn't like Jed at all, and doesn't want her to have male callers at such a young age. So Amanda and Jed begin a secret correspondence, leaving letters for each other on an almost daily basis, which only leads Amanda to wonder, whether she and Jed ever be able to have a real relationship, or if they will have to keep it secret forever. As a fan of Thomas Kinkade's magnificent paintings, as well as a fan of historical fiction, I found that AMANDA'S STORY was all that I'd hoped for and more. Amanda is a wonderful character, whose personality shines through in every letter that she sends to Jed, as well as through her actions in taking care of her sister, her Father, and spending time with her friends. Her wonderful outlook on life is uplifting, and will put a smile on the faces of all readers. A must have. Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper
