Rose Kauffman is engaged to Silas Good, a well-liked Amish fellow, so why does she still pine for Nick Franco, the former foster son of the bishop? Especially now that Nick has left the Amish community under a cloud of suspicion after the death of the bishop's biological son? Will Rose marry Silas, even while struggling with romantic feelings for Nick?

Meanwhile, Rose's older sister, Hen, has returned to live at her parents' farm with her young daughter. Hen and her modern husband, Brandon, are separated by mutual agreement, although he is threatening to sue for custody of their daughter if Hen does not return soon. Will the judge rule in Brandon's favor? Is there any way Hen can reestablish her place among the People without sacrificing her marriage?

4.0 out of 5 stars The Judgment, April 10, 2011

Personally, I think this is Beverly Lewis' best series yet. However, I preferred the first book in the series. This second installment was good, but as a romance lover, I was disappointed to find so little about Nick in it. That will be saved for the third book that comes out in September which is fine, but I'm left filling unsatisfied until then, wanted to get to the real depth of the story which this middle book seemed to be a little lacking on. However, it was a great filler to a great series and I look forward with great expectation for the final book.

2.0 out of 5 stars First time reader for this author, August 15, 2011

A friend gave me "The Judgment" to read. Unfortunately, I did not read the first book of the series. I found this book rather slow and only mildly interesting. After finishing the book, I was extremely disappointed that the story wasn't completed. It was all I could do to get through this one with it's slow-moving storyline,
I can't bear to read another one. Disappointing read!!!

Beverly Lewis has done it again! The Judgement gives enough to keep you hanging on, but not too much so that it can be answered in the 3rd book. The whole book was interesting to me, as I greatly enjoyed Hen's faith that shone through in this book, and Rose Ann's soul searching. It is a great read!
