Annie's People Book 1- A new series from The New York Times bestselling author of the ABRAM'S DAUGHTERS series! The Preacher's Daughter begins a remarkable journey of heartache and homespun delight--a series readers will find impossible to forget. Paradise, Pennsylvania, is likened to a little slice of heaven on earth...but for Annie Zook--the preacher's eldest daughter--it seems like a dead-end street. She is expected to join the Amish church, but at 20 she is "still deciding." Because of the strict rules that guide the Plain community, she must continually squelch her artistic passion, although it has become her solace. In her signature style, with character depth and unexpected plot twists, beloved novelist Beverly Lewis once again opens the door to the world of the Amish.

Romance Reader at Heart - Cynthia Whitten

"Now this is a beautiful story.... The tale gently picks you up and takes you on a tender journey of faith and love, and then to crisis moments involving horribly difficult decisions. The reader really feels for the heroine. This is the first time I've read a Beverly Lewis book. Now I see what all the fuss is about. The end of the story gave me Goosebumps."
