Inspirational Amish

The last thing Sally Bingham expected was to have her entire life as she had known it to be a complete lie. She knew that her mother had abandoned her when she was too little to remember her, leaving her to be raised by her father Ed. But someplace deep inside, she wanted to know more about her mother and why she left. Only her father doesn't want to tell her any more than he already has, which amounts to almost nothing. FOREVER AMISH is Sally's story and what happens to her when she meets Lizzie an Amish girl who is adamant that Sally come to Pennsylvania.

Receiving numerous emails from Lizzie, who is interested in the Pembroke Welsh Corgi's she breeds, she heads to Lancaster County not only in response to a possible dog adoption, but to give her some breathing room from her pending engagement to Donald. She isn't sure why but something is nagging at the back of her mind, telling her that Donald might not be all she thinks he is. He doesn't care for her ailing father like he should and seems to distancing himself from her as much as possible. If she follows through with her upcoming marriage, she would need to give up her breeding, and move to Donald's home town to be close to his family. After their recent argument, Sally believes some time spent away from Donald might give her the perspective she needs and is missing.

What she doesn't expect to find when she arrives in Intercourse, Pennsylvania is that her reservation at the Bed and Breakfast is cancelled due to rain damage to her room leaving her with no options. Thankfully she runs into an Amish driver who tells her that his family often takes in English tourists. Little does she know that it is also the home of Lizzie, the woman behind all the numerous emails about the dog. But is that really what she wants to know? Why does an Amish woman want a pure breed dog like a Welsh Corgi? Does she even realize how much these dogs cost? Or is there something more behind the request to get Sally to come to Lancaster County? Would that have anything to do with the handsome Amish man, Armin staying on the family's farm? Life is about to get so much more interesting than she ever imagined in FOREVER AMISH.

I started reading FOREVER AMISH early in the morning while everyone else in the house was asleep. Kate Lloyd is a master at creating well developed characters. I could not put this book down. It was a wonderful story about forgivness. I have read the other books in this trilogy and it was nice knowing the characters as I began but you can read this as a stand alone without having read the other two parts.

If you like a good Amish story with a twist, you have it in FOREVER AMISH and in this series. I am looking for more great stories from Kate Lloyd. I smiled, laughed, and was brought to tears many times. FOREVER AMISH touched me and hit home. Only God can heal and mend broken hearts.

SUMMARY

It's the Last Thing She Expects to Find

Sally Bingham needs some time away to sort through the changes in her life and to rethink her upcoming marriage. Despite her ailing father's hesitations, she takes off for a bed and breakfast in Lancaster County for a weekend away. But her best-laid plans leave her in a near collision with a bishop's buggy and in the home of a mysterious Amish woman named Lizzie. Lizzie introduces her to a different perspective on life, a charming farmhand named Armin--and opens a Pandora's box that will forever change Sally's life.

The latest book in the Legacy of Lancaster trilogy, Forever Amish introduces us to a young woman about to uncover a shocking secret and find an invitation to a new way of living. This is a story of forgiveness, legacies, and the ties that bind through generations.
