My thoughts: STILL MY FOREVER is a sweet historical Mennonite romance which centers around family, community, and music. Ms. Sawyer has created a lovely community which the reader automatically feels a part of and characters to fall in love with. My only issue was the mom who was ill and bedbound except for when she didn't want to be and she was up and running. I didn't understand her. I did enjoy reading the book and hope there's another following about Joseph. don't miss STILL MY FOREVER. Recommended. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
