Review: Forever Amish: A Novel

Forever Amish: A Novel by Kate Lloyd

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Sally Bingham’s mother left when she was a baby and Sally has lived alone with her father Ed who owns a car lot called “Honest Ed’s” Sally’s dad won’t really tell her anything about her mother, and Sally has always wanted to know more about her. She is also having 2nd thoughts about the man she is supposed to marry. She needs time away from it all. She has been emailing with a girl named Lizzie from Lancaster County and she decides to go visit. Her father is against her leaving and especially about going to Lancaster County, but she goes anyway. When she is notified about plumbing problems at the Bed & Breakfast where she had reservations, she accepts Lizzie's invitation to rent a room at her house. She is amazed by the way the Amish live, but soon comes to love the simple way of life, and feels very much at home. She studied German in school, so she even understands their church services. Then her father shows up, and everything changes.
This book is the third in a series, but I had no problem with reading it alone. I enjoyed the relationships that developed and also the storyline. I was drawn into the complexities of the relationship between Sally and her father and enjoyed how the relationship changed. This is a story with many secrets, lots of love, trust broken and restored and God’s grace through it all. This my first book by Kate Lloyd and she is now on my must-read author’s list. I highly recommend this book.

I was given this book from The Bookclub Network and publisher David Cook for review purposes. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read & revew.
