"I love Beverly Lewis. Her books are so uplifting and fully capture Amish life. She always makes me want to be a "silent believer" in the Amish world, but then I remember that I would actually have to clean my house and stop reading about Amish women cleaning their houses, putting up preserves, doing the garden, and the million and one other things they have to do."

“Beverly Lewis continues to give her readers what they have found irresistible in her previous bestselling books.”
— blogcritics.org" I like Beverly Lewis but it takes me awhile to get into her stories. "
— Jackie, 2/19/2014" I enjoy reading Beverly Lewis' Amish series. While I like the sweet story of the Annie Series books, it seems the story could have been told in one book vs. a series of three. "
— Toshellbell, 2/15/2014" Very good ending to this wonderful series... "
— Diane, 2/11/2014" Last in series - gets quite religious - no surprise ending that is for sure. "
— Eileen, 2/9/2014" This series was so good I could hardly quit reading. I finished this book about midnight. I couldn't wait to read the ending. "
— Judy, 2/5/2014" Lewis outdid herself with this series. It is personally my fav so far. "
— Jessica, 1/28/2014" The final book to the series Annie's People was a good book to close of the story of Annie and her desires to paint. All worked out in the end. She gets her man, her painting and stays with her people. Mt only ssue is that Lou's story really didn't come to a close. Maybe Beverly Lewis will do a spin off series on Lou's life. "
— Rolanda, 1/26/2014" In this book the Amish must go out of their comfort zone to solve their social problems. This seris also tells the difficult problem of a uniquitely gited Amish girl whose gifts are not accepted by the larger Amish society. In this case her gift is art. "
