Quotes

“In the fourth volume of Beverly Lewis’ Abram’s Daughters series, the chronicle of the Ebersols continues. As the world moves into the post-WWII years, the devout Amish family must contend with change in their traditional Lancaster County routines. Leah now runs the Ebersol Cottage and sees to the raising of her motherless younger siblings. Shunned by the family, sister Sadie has returned, causing Leah to worry that sister Lydiann too will abandon the Old Ways.”
— Barnes&Noble.com, editorial review -
“Lewis’ fascinating, though meandering, saga of Amish life reveals a universal truth—still waters often possess strong currents and cover deep secrets. The slow pace may put some readers off, but overall, it’s a worthwhile read.”

The Prodigal Listener Reviews

" If you have never read Beverly Lewis you are in for a treat "
— Kenopus1, 2/13/2014 -
" This was book number 4 of the series...it is an Amish story. I have had fun looking into their culture. I like the faith and gratitude these people carry on a day to day basis. They get much joy out of their lives and accept everything as God's will, even the bad things that happen. They believe that all is to their good, no matter what. They really enjoy the bounties of the Earth and caring for it, a very simplistic people. "

" The author did an amazing job of bringing in so many characters and keeping this ongoing saga suspenseful. Twists, turns, dips, valleys. A real ride for Amish fiction. I can't write any review of the story without slipping and sharing a surprise or two. It caught me by surprise! "
