With the suggestion of my best friend, I decided my first audiobook would be Amish fiction. Honestly, I figured I’d be bored to tears but I purchased and downloaded, “The Shunning: The Heritage of Lancaster County (Book 1)”.
Within minutes, I was drawn deep inside the story of a red-haired, vibrant young lady named Katie. The book follows Katie as she struggles to live the plain life she knows and fight the “fancy” thoughts that arise in her mind.
Just days before her wedding, Katie’s life takes a dramatic turn causing an uproar throughout her family and the Amish community of Hickory Hollow. Does she risk getting shunned? What lies ahead for Katie and her close-knit family? I was so enthralled with this book from start to finish. Every time I turned my iPod on, I was instantly ready… Ready to see what happened next and how Katie’s life would unfold.
This book is the first in a three-part series by Beverly Lewis. Lewis is a New York Time’s Bestselling author of many, many Amish genre books. Next in this series is “The Confession” and finally, the third book, “The Reckoning”.
Needless to say, I’ll be starting The Confession tonight!
