Product Description

In the seemingly ordinary Amish home of Grace Byler, secrets abound. Why does her mother weep in the night? Why does her father refuse to admit something is dreadfully wrong? Then, in one startling moment, everything Grace assumed she knew is shattered. Her mother’s disappearance leaves Grace reeling and unable to keep her betrothal promise to her long-time beau. Left to pick up the pieces of her life, Grace questions all she has been taught about love, family, and commitment. Heather Nelson is an English grad student, stunned by a doctor’s diagnosis. Surely fate would not allow her father to lose his only daughter after the death of his wife a few years before. In denial and telling no one she is terminally ill, Heather travels to Lancaster County–the last place she and her mother had visited together. Will Heather find healing for body and spirit? As the lives of four wounded souls begin to weave together like an Amish patchwork quilt, they each discover missing pieces of their life puzzles–and glimpse the merciful and loving hand of God.

The Secret
Beverly Lewis is, by far, my favorite author of “Amish books”, or “Bonnet Books” as Time magazine labeled them in a recent article. I have read every one she’s written. Once I pick up one of her books, I have trouble putting it down. I love her characters, her depiction of Amish life, and her style of writing. Not so with this book. I had trouble reading this one. I actually find it hard to believe Mrs. Lewis wrote this book. It is nothing like any of her previous works. I was never comfortable with these characters, nor with the way they treat each other. They are very different from her usual characters; they even speak differently. Normally I finish Mrs. Lewis’ books in two or three sittings. I devour her books and find it hard to wait for the next one. It took me two WEEKS and much determination to finish this one – and I did only because it’s Beverly Lewis. Now I will pass it on to my mom as I’ve done with all the others. She loves them as much as I do and often finishes these books in one sitting! I’m anxious to know what she will think of this latest one. I hope Mrs. Lewis’ upcoming books will be better than The Secret….more info

Another winner
I am a huge fan of Ms. Lewis’ Amish stories. But for me, something is different with “The Secret”. Ms. Lewis has decided to address some issues that are so pertinent to me as the parent of a 15 year old daughter, choosing a life mate. She also

introduces a very serious, hard-to-imagine side story that can make this book a little more difficult to read. But it’s all real life stuff woven into another winning story. Once again, I am finding it hard to wait for the next story. Thank you Beverly Lewis!!!!!!…more info
