You just keep wanting more...

I must say the cover of this book pulled me in. My parents came from NE PA and I grew up eating chicken & waffles, chicken pot pie (made in a pressure cooker of all things) and shoo-fly pie. While my roots aren't linked directly with Lancaster County, I have always been very interested in the Amish. I am also a proud New Yorker with a lovely hex sign displayed on my home!
Please take the time to read this book. I am sure you will enjoy it every bit as much as I did. Is it a "youth fiction", well maybe, but does everything always have to be thrown in our faces? It is a lovely book and very suitable for the teen in your life who enjoys reading and learning.

Just OK

This is the second series of books that I am reading by Beverly Lewis. Abram's Daughters was my first series and that was FANTASTIC! This series starts off rather boring with The Parting. There isn't enough character development. With Abram's Daughters, you not only knew the main character, but you also go insight into the secondary characters. With this series, the Courtship of Nellie Fisher, you barely know Nellie, yet alone her sisters or her brothers. The brothers have pretty much zero role in the book and the sisters pretty much ignore Nellie. Caleb isn't described nearly well enough. I'm going to to on to Book 2 because I borrowed it at the library, but I'm not going to continue if things don't pick up.

Beverly Lewis

My #1 choice for reading. Her heart is in what she writes and I appreciate all the feeling and love that her stories show.

The People themselves dare to challenge the Old Ways of their heritage...and each patriarch must choose a side. Nearly one hundred days have passed since the untimely death of Nellie Mae Fisher's beloved younger sister, Suzy, and Nellie dares again to dream of a future with handsome Caleb Yoder. But with rumors about Suzy still flying among the People, there are those who would keep the young courting couple apart...including Caleb's own father. Meanwhile, a growing number of Honeybrook's Amish farmers are demanding tractors and other forbidden modern conveniences. When a revival adds to the tensions, passions flare. With the Old Order community pushed to the breaking point, Nellie and Caleb find their families--and themselves--in the midst of what threatens to become an impossible divide. The Courtship of Nellie Fisher, Book 1.
