Abram's Daughters #3

They Couldn’t Have Known the Separate Paths Their Lives Would Take

The ABRAM'S DAUGHTERS saga encompasses the lives of three generations of Ebersols, an Amish family of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Opening with The Covenant at the end of WWII and continuing into the Fifties with The Betrayal, Leah and Sadie Ebersol have made very different choices with consequences that have left them many miles apart, both physically and emotionally.

Having already suffered unthinkable betrayals, Leah has accepted her life as "Abram’s daughter," fitting willingly and comfortably into the family and work, whether she is needed out in the barn or helping her mother, Ida, with housework and baby sister Lydiann. But an unexpected family announcement brings unimaginable joy—as well as incredible sorrow. Leah is once again caught between the yearnings of her heart and responsibility for her family.

Her younger sisters, twins Hannah and Mary Ruth, face their own difficult choices. Their paths also seem to be diverging, pushing the Ebersol family into further turmoil. Will they ever find true peace—within and without?

Reviews:

"Award-winning Beverly Lewis has written a moving novel sure to give its reader insight into the day-to-day life of the Amish. It is a novel of the healing power of forgiveness, the strength of God's love, and the importance of family ties. The Sacrifice is book three of the ABRAM'S DAUGHTERS series, which tells the stories of four Amish sisters growing up in Gobbler's Knob, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, beginning in the late 1940's. I was impressed by the amount of knowledge Ms. Lewis has of the Amish culture, and she also uses the unique language of the Amish quite impressively. I am looking forward to reading The Prodigal, book four of this series, coming in October, 2004." --Romance Junkies

"The Sacrifice will cause readers to marvel at the power and peace of forgiveness... Beverly Lewis is a gifted storyteller. Yet, her books are more than just entertainment. They are meant to cause readers to think, feel and even question eternal issues and truths. This is never done in a heavy-handed way, but it's as if the author puts her own hand out and gently beckons the readers to join her on the trail of truth and beauty. The characters are created with a wonderful sense of reality, and the spiritual issues are handled tactfully. Emotions run the gamut in this touching story, but it's the ending that seals the book with hope. The Sacrifice comes from the hands of an author who cares enough about her readers to create a story with eternal blessings." --LoveRomances.com
