12 yr. old Becky loves God, her Mother, and her tremendously talented piano playing. Being the older of 2 girls in her family, she tries to set a Godly example for her younger sister by maturing during the absence of their young mother. The thing she wants most is for her Mother to get well and return home and she thinks she can strike a bargain with God to bring this about. Her father is the pastor of their small church and struggles with his wife's illness, his responsibilities to his church and the welfare of his 2 daughters. Becky is sure the Sunroom must be a beautiful place and wishes she could visit her mother in person there, but first she has to live up to her end of the bargain with God. This is not easy, considering she has offered to completely give up the one thing that consumes her thoughts, fills her lonely time and brings her some measure of peace!

Beverly Lewis is an extremely gifted "Christian" writer, obviously focusing her talents on conveying messages in wholesome, respectful manners. This is a beautiful yet heart-wrenching story of a young girl's struggle with life, death, and change. There are many lessons about love, trust, and faith to be learned in reading this simple yet elegant acccount. You will weep, then rejoice in the final chapters. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a heart.

I found this book to take you through emotions. If you love to feel what your reading, then this is the book for you. I felt with Becky through every step.

This book was so good, didn't want to put it down. Took me about a week to read the story!

The Sunroom is a bit different from the many Beverly Lewis books I have read. This is a sensitive story about a beautiful Spiritual Healing told as only Beverly Lewis can, with warmth and grace.

First I should inform readers that this is a very small book! Not of standard size, but it carries a very BIG story. Truly a very wonderful, heart-touching story indeed!

This was a good one.It real hits home about the problems that many people have to face concerning family members.So good,Nadia Rehmani

I loved this book. I would like to see Amazon be able to identify the type of book, i.e., paperback - regular size or paperback - large size. I don't like the small paperbacks in the Christian fiction books and have no way to identify the larger size, which I prefer.

Beverly Lewis - By far the best Amish writer - EVER! She captures your heart from the very beginning to the very end of her stories. I LOVE to read her books. She is captivating in her writings! This was geared towards the teens, but I still enjoyed it!

I enjoy reading books by Beverly Lewis and that is why I purchased this book.

If you want to help someone in need READ THIS FIRST.

If you have a need, READ THIS REVIEW THROUGH.

WHO WOULD READ THIS BOOK? ? ? ?

Someone who faces the death of a friend, family member, or even themselves. Let's face it, death is a struggle on the emotions, especially if it is connected to someone loved. This is such a story of that kind of love. Yet it offers HOPE.

Also, someone who faces a serious illness themselves. Those who have been there, know of the pain and loneliness, not to mention, the anxiety in the risk of loosing contact with their family. This small, easily read book, takes a look as serious illness and how it touches the ill person, a mate, children, and even friends and family. It's not a lecture, but compassion in story form.

Beverly Lewis is a seasoned author, noted for her many Amish stories. Becky, the child telling the story, is of a Mennonite family and reaches out with a commitment, a pact, with God that turns out to be almost a pact with the Devil, instead. Can she fulfill her own self-imposed sacrifice to save her mother? It is a touching story, "a shadow of what truly happened inside my young heart", according to the written testimony of the author.

If you know of someone who is or has faced illness, death, or other human suffering, this is a small book that would be welcome to the inner needs of that person. You better buy one for yourself at the same time, because if you read it first, you will not want to give it away.

A TOP-NOTCH story by a gifted and beautiful lady of words.
