Although it is similar to other writers of this type of Christian fiction, Beverly Lewis' books are just a cut above the rest. I enjoyed this book as well as the rest of the series very much. (  ) sdbookhound | Dec 25, 2009 |  First in the series Abrams Daughters..loved it!! This got me hooked on the entire series! I love the Amish & this series is awesome! Feels like I'm living in Lancaster! :) (  ) Ames3473 | Nov 28, 2009 | Book 1 of the Abram's Daughter series. This is a charming and beautifully written story about an Amish family during the time of WWII. It deals with coming of age, love, hope, heartbreak, tragedy and secrets that are held within families. Beverly Lewis is well versed with the customs and beliefs of the Amish sect, and portrays it brilliantly here. I really enjoyed the story, but it ends as a "cliff hanger" so expect to have to read on through the series. This is not the first of Lewis' series I've read, and it certainly will not be the last! ( ) tweezle | Nov 9, 2009 | I really enjoyed this book as I've always been fascinated with the Amish way of life. I liked the insights into the society: the courtship rituals and the close-knit community. The complete acceptance of secrecy was surprising. The author's prose is simple and plain, but not at all awkward. She says what needs to be said with the same clear succinctness employed by the Plain people. An interesting book, and an easy read. The novel really has no complete ending; I assume it is to segue into the sequels. (  ) 2kidsandtired | Jul 28, 2009 | This book is outside the realm of the types of books I usually read, but it is a very good book, nonetheless! It transports me into a world and belief system very different from my own, which is very relaxing. While this book has quite a bit of spirituality blended in, it is mainly a story about love and family. ( ) angela1984 | Jul 16, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
