Search - The Secret (Seasons of Grace, Book 1)

I am taking out the book mark at page 265. I just cannot continue. Nothing pleasant has happened so far in the entire more than two hundred and fifty pages minus one paragraph. Many things are going on, yet every single one is depressing with no reprieve. I have read a handful of reviews so far that love the story and the presentation of the Amish lives through the novel. This book for me just is not happening.



In the past, I have read several titles by Beverly Lewis and loved them. This one is just dull and bland and I cannot continue it. There are too many dozens of books to be read. I spent three days and more pages and effort than I should have. Some already have, and some will love this book, but I do not and I do not recommend it. It could turn around, but you need some relief in the hours of depression and pain and this so far has not had it.

Great book. I can't wait to see what happens next with the multiple story lines going on and of course multiple secrets. I did, however, guess the secret at the end of the book before I reached the end. So predictable, maybe. But no character line is resolved in this book, but rather leaves you to guess what the next book is going to reveal.

I really liked this one. I am not sure I am going to be able to wait for the next book! I did not guess the secret as some other reviewers said they did (but maybe I am slower about it or really didn't want to guess it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I recommend it to all Beverly Lewis fans.

This is the first book by Beverly Lewis I have read. I have the other two books in this series and plan to get as many more of her books as I can. I could not put it down. It was very good.

The Seasons of Grace series had some surprising turns of events.

Bev Lewis continues to write REAL stories.She keeps a person wanting more! Anxious for the next. She has a way of sharing true life in an Amish community and do it in a way that one respects them. This one was not an easy read in that the Mother leaves her family but it gives us a glimpse of another way of life. Showing us how fortunate we are to have freedom to do as we want. And still we make mistakes. I thourghly enjoyed this book and am anxious for the next. That is why she "leaves us hanging".
