Publisher Description

The Abram's Daughters saga encompasses the lives of three generations of Ebersols, an Amish family of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Opening with The Covenant at the end of World War II and continuing into the '50s with The Betrayal, Leah and Sadie Ebersol have made very different choices with consequences that have left them many miles apart, both physically and emotionally. Having already suffered unthinkable betrayals, Leah has accepted her life as Abram's daughter, fitting willingly and comfortably into the family and work, whether she is needed out in the barn or helping her mother, Ida, with housework and baby sister Lydiann. But an unexpected family announcement brings unimaginable joy - as well as incredible sorrow.

Leah is once again caught between the yearnings of her heart and responsibility for her family. Her younger sisters, twins Hannah and Mary Ruth, face their own difficult choices. Their paths also seem to be diverging, pushing the Ebersol family into further turmoil. Will they ever find true peace - within and without?

    " This is a cheesy series that takes place in Amish country, but I love it. This book was a little slower than the first 2 in the series. "

    " Book 3 in the series of 'Abram's Daughters' and the title says it well. There is so much sacrifice being made in this book out of love and out of faith that God will turn the pain into beauty. "

    " Mixed feelings on this one. I picked this book up knowing that it was published by Bethany House and that it would be about the Amish. I didn't like the back handed way the author handled the Amish religious beliefs. "

    " These books are very simple, a little too simple for my liking. The story has the potential to be so good...dead babies, stolen loves, sisterly squabbles...but Beverly Lewis does not go deep enough for my liking. That said, I do enjoy reading about the Amish culture and find the characters likeable. I plan to continue the series so I must be interested! "
