Book Description:
Abram's Daughters book 3, the sequel to the bestselling The Betrayal. This powerful family saga features four Amish courting-age sisters growing up in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, beginning in the 1940s. Life in Gobbler's Knob was all Leah Ebersol ever wanted until her older sister Sadie abandoned faith and family, leaving Leah no choice but to believe the worst, that Sadie--and her own beloved--Jonas had betrayed her. Now, two years later, Leah still misses both Sadie and Jonas keenly. Because of her sister's shunning, she cannot contact either of them but hears through the grapevine that they are married. Loyal neighbor Gid is still biding his time, but on the verge of accepting his courting invitation, tragedy befalls the Ebersols and Leah must again choose between her own happiness and her family. Mary Ruth dreams of becoming a teacher, but it has gotten pushed to the back of her thinking when a nice young Amish boy comes courting. Twin Hannah yearns for her sister to attend baptismal classes with her, but Mary Ruth is not ready to take her final vows. How will this family in turmoil find peace?

As always this series continues to be great. I wish good things would happen to Leah, I keep reading to hope that she will one day find what she is looking for. This book in the series is a tearjerker, so get those kleenex ready. i can't wait to read book 4!

The saddest book in the series, but as always, a page turner.
The continuation of Leah Ebersol's pursuit of happiness. A very sweet book.
A look in to the lives of four Amish sisters. Great story line and an interesting peek inside a peoples life you donn't usually get.
This is the 3rd book from the series "Abram's Daughters". Beverly Lewis continues to bring real dimension to her characters in this novel. The characters' triumphs and tribulations become the reader's. It is hard to put down this book!
Great series, wonderful way to learn about the Amish!
Life in Gobbler's Knob was all Leah Ebersol evr wanted until older sister Sadie abandoned faith and family, leaving Leah to believe the worst, that Sadie-and her own beloved Jonas, had betrayed her.
Loyal neighbor Smithy Gid patiently bides his time, and Leah finds herself on the verge of accepting his courting invitation. But, when tragedy once more befalls the Ebersols, Leah must again choose between her own happiness and her family.
Great reading from start to finish.
