Annie's People introduces Lewis's enthusiastic readers to
Paradise, Pennsylvania, the heart of Amish country, where
Annie Zook finds her life strangely intertwined with two
outsiders--one a longtime pen pal, the other a forbidden
love. Annie Zook, the Amish preacher's daughter with the
soul of an artist, is on the fence between her Old Order
heritage and two secrets: her forbidden art and a handsome
Englisher, whom her preacher father has ordered her never
to see again. Ben Martin flees Paradise, taking Annie's
heart with him. Will he unravel his own mystery,
discovering a secret that threatens to destroy everything
he has believed about himself? Annie's friend Louisa
Stratford returns to Denver, caught in a romantic struggle
between the Plain and the fancy, while Annie moves from
her childhood home to live with her shunned friend,
Esther. But living with an excommunicated woman only
increases the Amish brethren's disapproval. Will Annie
willfully return to her art or relent and join the church?
