Book Description

October 10, 2007
Set in picturesque Daviess County, Indiana, this fictional Amish account is written as a fast-paced, entertaining story. The beautiful Sarah Schwartz knows she is on thin ice when she notices Lamar Wagler wathching her on Sundays and finds herself responding to his attention. Lamar is dating Malinda and is, as everyone assumes, soon to be married to her. Add to this, Malinda's family is close to Esther who... Well, just be sure the coffee pot is on and the chair is comfortable.


Editorial Reviews

Review

Sarah is a divinely, delectable coming of age story of romance and self discovery. A wonderful combination of flowing dialogue and compelling, passionate characters whom you continue to care about after the last page has been turned. --Carol Craig Cousins, MSW

I absolutely loved the story. Sarah is a delightfully heartwarming novel, a story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and acceptance. A great read with endearing characters that stir the soul! --Tracie Coleman, Elementary Teacher New Life Christian Academy

If you have ever wondered about what goes on in the world of the Amish, this is the book for you. --Janet D. Miller, Educator; Editor, Editing Services

I love reading about the Amish and this book does not disapoint you. It takes you into the peaceful world of the Amish. The characters are very endearing and I enjoyed the book very much. Hope this author writes more like it. If you like Brunstetter and Lewis you will like this book.

This review is from: Sarah (Perfect Paperback)
I read everything about the Amish. This book is excellent. I read all of Brunstetter & Lewis & Harper & Borntrager. NOW, I will be reading all that Eicher writes about the Amish. This is a complete novel, not one that leaves you hanging for a year till the next book is written. A very nice job of writing, keep up the good work, GOD BLESS.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 20, 2008
This review is from: Sarah (Perfect Paperback)
I do not feel this book was anywhere close to being on a par with the writings of either Beverly Lewis or Wanda Brunstetter. Many of the sentences were poorly constructed and choppy. The characters were undeveloped and unbelievable as Amish. The author added quite a few unrealistic story plots and made the Amish behave in ways totally uncharacteristic of acutal Amish. How many Amish go around calling each other "little creeps" or refer to other members of their church in that fashion? How many Amish women go around tainting jars of Ponds Cold Cream hoping an Amish girl will burn her skin with it?? How many Amish feel that being rich is a very desirable trait in a husband for their daughter? I could list inconsistency after inconsistency, but will stop with this: just how many Amish girls choose a light cream-colored cloth for their wedding dress???!!!
