Publisher Description

Shunned from the Amish life she once knew, Katherine Mayfield finds solace in her volunteer work and the delights of the modern world. Unknown to Katherine, her long-lost love, Daniel Fisher, is desperate to locate his "sweetheart girl," only to be frustrated at nearly every turn. Once again, Katherine is compelled to face the heritage of her past and recognize God's love in unexpected places.

The Heritage of Lancaster County trilogy re-creates the simple life of the Amish. Its themes of hope and reconciliation show us that even when we think we are far away, God's love is always present.

"I really enjoyed this final book. It ended exactly like I wanted it too even thought it took awhile. There were quite a few slow parts, but it didn't really take away much from the story. I really loved reading the religious aspect of it. I love hearing of ones journey with christ even if it is fiction. :)"

Quotes

  • “The Reckoning not only brought this series to an end, it proved a stern point: Amish fiction is far from boring and Beverly Lewis depicted a wonderful story…The narrator of this audiobook series, Marguerite Gavin, is wonderful. Gavin uses a very believable Amish dialect when she speaks the phrases of the characters and also has a very captivating voice. I’m thankful that Blackstone Audio used the same narrator throughout the series, it makes the story flow better from book to book…Overall, the Heritage of Lancaster County series is wonderful and captivating. I truly enjoyed all three books, especially The Reckoning because it tied together every loose end.”

    " As with the rest of the books of this series...I learned a lot about the culture of the Amish which was great! But after all the time commited to reading these books and all the build up...I felt like the end just totally fizzled. Good grief! "

    " This ended better than I thought it might, but only after some eye-rolling on my part. I really enjoyed the other Lewis trilogy I read so maybe she got better with some experience. I thought It could have been a great novel but was a really drawn-out trilogy with a lot of superfluous stuff. "

    " This is book 3 of this series. I enjoyed the first one the best and this last one was good but it dragged on. I wish she had gotten to the ending faster and discussed that relationship that developed at the end longer instead of taking half of the book to get there. I don't know if that makes sense but if you read it you'll know what I mean. All in all it was a good series. I enjoyed learning more about the Amish lifestyle, even though it was fictional and I don't know how accurate it was. "
