The Secret Keeper {Review}


Although I am finding a few authors of Amish books that I really like, I still think that Beverly Lewis is my favorite!  After reading the first two books in the Home to Hickory Hollow series, I was really excited to be able to review another one! The Secret Keeper is just as good as the other ones.

From the back cover:
Come home to Hickory Hollow, Pennsylvania--the beloved setting where Beverly Lewis's celebrated Amish novels began--with new characters and new stories of drama, romance, and the ties that draw people together.

Jennifer Burns shocks her family and friends when she bids farewell to her modern life in favor of the Old Order Amish world, settling in with Samuel and Rebecca Lapp.

The people of Hickory Hollow are curious about the beautiful young seeker among them--one handsome Amishman in particular--and Jenny faces many challenges in the Proving time the brethren set for her...challenges of the heart, as well as the spirit.

This was another of Beverly Lewis' sweet Amish stories but had a different twist with an Englisher wanting to become Amish.  I really enjoyed this different perspective and found it interesting that Jenny wanted to be Amish despite growing up with a very modern family.  I also really enjoyed that Beverly included some familiar characters from past stories.  Although the conflict seemed a bit rushed to be resolved at the end and everything worked out a little too neatly, I still really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it or any other of Beverly Lewis' books.

I received this book for free for review from Bethany House Publishers.


Blessings,
