Publisher Description

New York Times and USA Today best-selling Christian novelist Beverly Lewis continues her tradition of Amish stories with the Annie's People series. In the first book, Lewis addresses young Annie Zook's inner conflict between the strong bonds of her family and faith and the allurement of her talent. Her love of drawing has thus prevented her from choosing a husband, much to her Old Order preacher father's consternation. Annie's feelings grow further convoluted when her longtime pen pal from the outside world Louisa Stratford comes to visit and encourages her to cultivate her gift.

"good book, new series about amish, about a preachers daughter who has a passion for drawing/painting which is a big nono in this particular amish order. towards the end i think it starts getting predictable, i have a feeling on how the ending will happen, even though two more books are in the series"

— Kim (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I like reading these fun novels because they are about Amish people which I enjoy reading about, and they are fun and wholesome too. The story throughout this series (Annie's people) was entirely too predictable and monotonous at times, but it was still sweet. I actually had to find recipes and make Shoofly pie and Chicken corn chowder because I was so interested in what they tasted like! "

    " This series is a little too predictable for my liking. I had a hunch of who people were and where they were going, in this book (the first book in the series) and was really upset to find out that I was right on almost everything I thought. However, even though I had a pretty good idea of what would happen in the first book, most things didn't happen until the last book, so the series was a little too drawn out. Overall, it was a pretty good, light read, and I learned a lot about the intriguing Amish life. "
