Book Description:
A new series from The New York Times bestselling author of the ABRAM'S DAUGHTERS series! The Preacher's Daughter begins a remarkable journey of heartache and homespun delight -- a series readers will find impossible to forget. Paradise, Pennsylvania, is likened to a little slice of heaven on earth... but for Annie Zook -- the preacher's eldest daughter -- it seems like a dead-end street. She is expected to join the Amish church, but at 20 she is "still deciding." Because of the strict rules that guide the Plain community, she must continually squelch her artistic passion, although it has become her solace. In her signature style, with character depth and unexpected plot twists, beloved novelist Beverly Lewis once again opens the door to the world of the Amish.

Part of the what's it like to explore the Amish series by Lewis. Interesting juxtaposition between the English and the AMish when a pen-pal comes to stay in the community. Glances at the advantages and disadvantages of the closed society built on Christian discipline.

Once again Beverly Lewis has done it. This book also as a little mystey to it. Annie trys so hard to fit in and give up her secret. Can't wait to get the second book started.

This book is the 1st of 3 in the series, "Annie's People". Beverly Lewis put so much dimension in her characters. If you liked her series, "The Heritage of Lancaster County", you will absolutely enjoy this book. There is suspense, friendship, loyalty and love mixed in throughout the story. I can't wait to read the 2nd in the series. GREAT READ!!!

A very thoughtful story of a woman's struggle with her creative side and with her religion. Several enjoyable side stories are intertwined.
You will become so invested in the characters that by the end of the book you want to start immediately on the next book in the series in order to follow the developments in their lives.
This is the first book I have read by this author but I want to read more. I am very glad that a friend suggested this book to me.

The Preacher's Daughter begins the captivating new series ANNIE'S PEOPLE and introduces an Amish community in Paradise, Pennsylvania-a
heavenly sounding place, but one that has seen it's share of heartache and mystery. A moving story of friendship, secrets, and love.
Excellent book from start to finish.

If you are yearning for a taste of the simple life this is the perfect trilogy for you! Beverly Lewis once again does a fantastic job of taking you into the heart of Amish Country. Not just from the point of view of a plain character, but also from the view of a fancy girl wanting to find inner peace. It isn't all just about tranquility as a mystery unwinds right before your reading mind!

I loved reading about the Amish way of life and learning about their culture and religious practices.
The characters in this book are very well developed. It was a wonderful to contrast modern life with the simplicity of the Amish people.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was the first book I read by Beverly Lewis and I'm heading out to get the next in this series immediately. I'm dying to find out what happens to the characters in the sequel!

I can't imagine having to live in a world not being able to express myself the way Annie Zook has to live. Another wonderful story.
How can Annie choose between her family and her desire to produce beautiful art? And how will she know if she is making the right choice?
Marianne S. (I am a huge fan of Beverly Lewis, but the first book in this series has so much abuse undertones that it wasn't as enjoyable as the others. I am sure it is a realistic Amish trend, but it did lessen its enjoyability. I will read on and hope for the best for the characters.
This was a very interesting and informative book. I have always been fasinated by the Amish and this has answered a lot of my questions
Rebecca J. (Anothere great book Beverly Lewis is my favorite book writer leaves you feeling good
