Publisher Description

A Christy Award winner, New York Times best-selling author Beverly Lewis has garnered acclaim as the queen of Amish fiction. The Thorn begins her Rose Trilogy, the stirring saga of two Amish sisters on the fringes of the church-and the unforeseen discoveries that change their lives. Rose Kauffman finds herself growing closer to the bishop's foster son despite the warnings of her older sister, who knows more than she should about falling for the wrong man.

"I liked the first book in this trilogy and can't wait to start book two. I thought the sister's marriage to a non-Quaker had a fascinating dynamic to it and thought it was probably somewhat typical of what can happen when someone marries outside of their faith. "

    " I've read several of Beverly Lewis's novels. She writes about the Amish people, so if you have an interest in their faith and lifestyle you will probably like this book. Most of her books follow a similar story, someone struggling with aspects of the faith and lifestyle, a secret from the past, etc. The stories are fairly predictable, but they're a nice easy read when you're looking for something light.
