Come home to Hickory Hollow, Pennsylvania—the beloved setting where Beverly Lewis's celebrated Amish novels began—with new characters and new stories of drama, romance, and the ties that draw people together.A wrong turn in a rainstorm leads Englisher Amelia Devries to Michael Hostetler—and the young Amishman's charming Old Order community of Hickory Hollow. Despite their very different backgrounds, Amelia and Michael both feel hemmed in by the expectations of others and struggle with how to find room for their own hopes. What first seems to be a chance encounter might just change their lives forever . . ."Lewis's presentation of Amish life portrays the advantages and disadvantages of a community with definite rules and a solidarity that can be both enviable and constraining. The musical motifs offer welcome variation on very familiar Amish themes that Lewis renders in virtuoso style. This opens the Home to Hickory Hollow series, but stands alone nicely."—Publishers Weekly
