More About the Author

I've had my nose in a book, for as long as I remember. When I was about 9 years old, I started writing my own stories. By sixth grade, I'd hand-written a 66-page semi-autobiographical book titled, "She Shall Have Music."

After I was married and our three children were in middle school, I began submitting articles and short fiction to various magazines.

My first book (Holly's First Love) was published in May 1993, the start of a 14-book series for pre-teen girls. Soon after, my first chapter book was published for 7-10-year-old readers ("Big Bad Beans") which later became part of my 24-book series, The Cul-de-Sac Kids. I wrote another long-running series for girls, titled "SummerHill Secrets," which was set very close to Neffsville, PA, where I grew up--near the heart of Amish country.

But it was the story of my grandmother Ada Buchwalter's shunning by her ultra-strict father and subsequently her old order Mennonite community that nudged me toward writing adult fiction. THE SHUNNING was published in 1997 by Bethany House Publishers, and along with its sequels, has touched a nerve in millions of readers intrigued by the Plain culture of Lancaster County, PA. The Hallmark Channel will air the movie, "Beverly Lewis's The Shunning" on April 16, 2011 at 9 EDT/8 Central.

My passion for Amish-related stories continues to keep me up at night, and I'm presently writing the third book in my new series: The Rose Trilogy, due out September '11.

When I'm between writing deadlines, I enjoy hiking in the Rocky Mountains with my husband. Cooking from scratch, playing Mozart at the piano, and making family memory albums, as well as traveling to meet my devoted readers during book tours, are some of my very favorite things. I also adore reading biographies and memoirs, as well as classic literature.

Book Two of my present series: THE JUDGMENT, will be released on April 5, 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly entertaining, recommended for pre-teens & teens., July 14, 2000
This review is from: Follow the Dream (Girls Only!, Book 5) (Paperback)
In Follow The Dream, Livvy Hudson is a promising young skaterlearning to like the small Colorado town where he dad relocated afterthe death of Livvy's mother. Her skating, with the help of a trainer, is improving all the time and her new friends in the "Girl's Only" club are a constant encouragement. Happiness turns to frustration, though, when Grandma Hudson (now living with them) begins to take too much control of Livvy's life. She's trying to run everything both at home and on the ice! Livvy's anger nearly reaches the boiling point when her grandmother surprises her with a secret -- one that Livvy is eager to embrace. Perhaps Grandma Hudson has had Livvy's best interest in mind all along! The fifth title in the Bethany House Publishers "Girls Only!" series, Follow The Dream is a thoroughly entertaining and engaging story for both pre-teen and teen age readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super-brilliant!, April 24, 2005
A Kid's Review
A brilliant book! It is really good. When I first read the end I cried! I love the way things work out and the way the author works things out. I don't ice skating, and you don't have to do ice skating to like this book. A book I like better though is 'Lily's Passport to Paris' by Nancy Rue. Check out excerpts from both and then decide what you want to buy
