Book Description:
Her future, and the lives of her young siblings, is in the hands of a fancy “Englischer” from Portland...Sarah Cain.

Lydia Cottrell, eldest of five Amish orphans, made a promise to her dying mother to “keep the family together.” But soon she discovers that guardianship has been granted to a virtual stranger—a well-to-do aunt from Portland, Oregon, who cares little for Mamma’s last wish. Lydia’s struggle to keep the promise may cost her the loss of “the sweetest, kindest, and most handsome Plain boy in all of Lancaster County”—Levi King.

A thoroughly modern young woman, Sarah Cain had ridiculed her sister’s choice of a Plain life-style, which served only to intensify the lifelong rift between them. Now, twelve years later, Sarah is stunned by news of her sister’s death and baffled by Ivy's choice of a guardian. How can Sarah sacrifice her successful career and a life she enjoys to raise five Amish orphans? And what of Bryan Ford, the man in her life?

Upon her arrival in Lancaster County, Sarah holds a grief all her own—one very different from the suffering of her nieces and nephews. Can the sorrow that divides them ultimately unite the new family? Will Sarah discover that Lancaster County's Amish community is

This was the first book I read by this author and it was awesome. I liked this book best of all the ones i have read by her. Having lived in lancaster county and not being amish i thought she did a wonderful job in making you see things from both points of view. if you have never read a book by beverly lewis this is one of her best and you will want to read more from her.

This was the first book of the this type and by this author that I've read and I enjoyed it. I thought Sarah and Brian's relationship was a bit far-fetched and hokey, but I loved the descriptions of Amish life and culture.

This is such a good book! I love Christian fiction, and this is a great one. The story is so moving, but you just never can figure out how it will end. A great read!

This is a good book about the Amish community. Lydia Cottrell, eldest of five amish orphans, made a promise to her dying mother to keep the family together. She soon learns that the guardianship is granted to her Aunt Sarah who is not amish and not even a christian.

I liked this book but not as well as "The Heritage of Lancaster County" series. As a Christian, I appreciate the references to salvation. However, I felt like there is a little bit of overkill in her books. I found myself starting to skip through her mini sermons. Wanda Brunstetter, another author of Amish fiction, is a little more subtle in her approach.

An interesting book from the noted author Beverly Lewis. I believe this is a stand alone book, unlike the many series by Beverly Lewis that include three books or more.

Loved it! And it's going to be a movie soon, so you had better read it first.

~~~Even though you may find the sermons her books as a tad overkill I have to disagree. It was because of Beverly Lewis's "sermons" that I found the love of God again in my life. I find it sad that you see it as overkill. While it may be annoying to some, to others it's a breath of freash air. :)
