Good Reads

About a year ago my sister Judy shared a book she had just read. It was a novel centered around the Amish communities in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I fell in love with it and searched to find the rest of the series by Beverly Lewis. I had read about 12 of hers and then couldn't find any more.. then Judy turned me on to another author who writes about the same communities and her name is Wanda Brunstetter. I loved these books too and wanted to share both authors with you. Their writing is so enjoyable to get lost in and I feel like I really am getting to know the traditions and customs of the Amish people.

Here is a list of the books by Beverly Lewis:

Series: Abram's Daughters

The Covenant, The Betrayal, The Sacrifice, The Prodigal & The Revelation

Series: The Heritage of Lancaster County

The shunning, The Confession & The Reckoning

Series: Annie's People

The Preacher's Daughter, The Englisher & The Brethren

The Courtship of Nellie Fisher

The Postcard

The Crossroad

The Redemption of Sarah Cain


Here are the books by Wanda Brunstetter

Daughter's of Lancaster County Series

The Storekeeper's Daughter

The Quilter's Daughter

The Bishop's Daughter

Brides of Lancaster County Series

A Merry Heart

Looking for a Miracle

Plain & Fancy

The Hope Chest

I love to read and I'm always looking for new books to read.. When Judy and I go shopping and we go into the bookstores, I tell her.."now don't let me buy any more books, I have a shelf full I haven't read yet". But I always walk out with at least "1" more book to put on my collection.

On a rainy day like we are having in Phoenix today, it is a perfect time to sit in my comfy chair with a mug of hot peach tea and get lost in the words of a book I love.

If you are a reader like me, try these books out, I'm sure you will love them..
