Beverly Lewis is the queen of Amish
fiction and a long time favorite of most Amish fiction readers. Like most
readers, I started reading Amish fiction due to Ms. Lewis’ first book, The
Shunning. And I have read literally all her books since. Except maybe a few of
her kids books.
THE RIVER is the story of two sisters,
four brothers, a mamm, a daed, and a dysfunctional family relationship. Why did
Daed seem to hate Tilly so? Why is Ruth move loved of the two sisters? Did
Tilly cause Anna’s death, as she believes, or was it someone else?
You’ll have to read this book to see
how (and if) this family finds healing. As per most of Ms. Lewis’ books, THE
RIVER was read in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.
Love Amish fiction, you’ll love THE
RIVER. Great book. 4.5 stars.
Available in ebook, hard cover, audio,
and paperback. 320 pages.
