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 BEST BOOK EVER READ IN MY LIFE!, October 21, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Little White Lies (Holly's Heart, Book 10) (Paperback)

Personal opinion:
This book is the best book I ever read my entire life! The drama and sadness sucking you into the book, with the tornando of romance mixed in. Out of ALL the Bev Lewis books (even adult ones I've read) I believe that NO other book will suck to so far into the storey! I swaer I read the hole thing in ONE DAY! I would suggest this to at least 10 years to 50 years old. It is so hurtful but close to god that anybody can appiciate it. I promise with my heart and soul -
You will NOT be able to put it down!
On some scale this is a pretty deap romance book, but totely worth it. Its no crying matter (Ok a wailed for 9 days about it!) but a totel heart braker. If your passing by the christion book store, GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN! Its totely worth it. I personaly have read it 3 times and now have it on tape to give to my friends. Trust the 12 year olds,
This is the book anyone wants to read.

Storey:
Ok, so Andie really wants to go to california with her best friend Holly (the main person in the searies) so she begs and begs then she finally gets to go. Once she there, right off the bat Holly starts to suspect somthings wrong with her dad that the stepmom isnt saying. And when Andie starts getting TO lovey with Rico (a man she met on the beach) Holly gets vary concerned and is suprized to find that Andie isnt in her bed one night. All she can do now is trust god that Andie isnt falling on her back-for-that-big-bad-beach-bum!
