The Sacrifice

In this third book of the series, Leah makes a promise to her mother that will lead her down a different path, one that not many Amish women would have chosen. She forgoes the hope of someday having a husband and a family of her own. Though content with her life, she nevertheless comes to the realization that what was denied to her happened through a series of miscommunications and deceit, and is distraught with that knowledge. Readers of this series will feel Leah’s pain, when her long-shunned sister reveals this truth to her. After this life-changing sacrifice, one can only hope that happiness will Leah at some point in future, because she seems unable to look for it.

My least favorite in the series so far, but it still somehow drew me in.

Oh my god! This book was soooo boring! Seriously, almost nothing happened. I suppose Amish people could read it and feel good about the way they live their lives, but I really give the Amish more credit than that. I think their lives are truly way more interesting than this book. I was hoping to learn something about an unfamiliar culture but was left severely wanting. This book basically reinforces a very traditional and conservative way of thinking about family, life and the world.

The third book in the Abram's Daughters series. I liked it. The story is well written and you feel almost connected with the characters

I love Beverly Lewis & this series called Abram's Daughters. I know it's "Christian" fiction, but honestly it is not preachy in any way..if you love the Amish you'll love this series..that is why I love it!!

9/10

This is the third book in Beverly Lewis' Abram's Daughters series. It's probably the best so far. So so much happened in this book!

Leah - the book's major heroine - accepts her mother's dying wish as a covenant and keeps it to the point of denying herself and her own desires...
