Book Review: "The Secret Keeper" by Beverly Lewis




Beverly Lewis did it again with "The Secret Keeper."  Her insightful knowledge of both the "English" and "Amish" world helped her bring life into this book.  

The story involves an "English" or non-amish woman name Jenny Burns, who wishes to become Amish.  She had these feelings ever since she was a child.  Her family and friends considers her as an "old soul" and doesn't understand her desire to join the Amish church.  She makes the decision to leave behind the luxuries of the modern world to seek out life as an Amish woman.

During her time seeking out the life in the Amish community, she befriends a young man, who she happens to fall in love with.  She also discovers secrets within the community that make her question whether or not to stay and join the Amish church.  

Being a non-Amish woman seeking the Amish way of life seems to be harder than Jenny imagines.  Despite the friendships that she makes and the relationship with her lovely beau, does she stay and join the church or does she leave to return back to the comforts of the modern world?  The only way to find out is to open the book and enter in the community of Hickory Hollow.

Must say that this book is great.  If you are into clean Romance, Faith, and suspense, this book is for you.  After reading, this book it made me think about the desires in my heart that I would like to fulfill.  I can't wait to read the next in the series, "The Last Bride."
