The Secret (Seasons of Grace, Book 1) Review
Beverly Lewis has a way of writing truthfully about the Amish sect that lets one whose life is current, that they are people with the same joys and sorrows that are consistent in all humanity. They laugh, cry, make decisions:good and not so good, and carry on secrets from generation to generation in the same way 'worldly' families do.
Good reading to take you out of your own life and into a different daily lifestyle and thought process.
The Secret (Seasons of Grace, Book 1) Overview
In the seemingly ordinary Amish home of Grace Byler, secrets abound. Why does her mother weep in the night? Why does her father refuse to admit something is dreadfully wrong? Then, in one startling moment, everything Grace assumed she knew is shattered. Her mother's disappearance leaves Grace reeling and unable to keep her betrothal promise to her long-time beau. Left to pick up the pieces of her life, Grace questions all she has been taught about love, family, and commitment. Heather Nelson is an English grad student, stunned by a doctor's diagnosis. Surely fate would not allow her father to lose his only daughter after the death of his wife a few years before. In denial and telling no one she is terminally ill, Heather travels to Lancaster County--the last place she and her mother had visited together. Will Heather find healing for body and spirit? As the lives of four wounded souls begin to weave together like an Amish patchwork quilt, they each discover missing pieces of their life puzzles--and glimpse the merciful and loving hand of God.

Very sweet - Perchance to Dream - USA
Beverly Lewis not only writes of a simpler but of problems that confront us all. Living with regret, overcoming poor choices, living with depression within a family are a few that we all are familiar with.
Don't Waste your Time Reading This! - Iris Nedza - Holly, MI
Be aware that this story has no ending. It leaves you hanging as to what happens to all the people in the story. If you have time to waste, then read it. If time is important to you, or you have other books to read, don't waste it reading this story. I am very upset that I wasted my time on this book.
