For some reason, for the past few years, I can't stop reading Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter's books about the Amish life. They are just so different than the books I normally read. I got my sister hooked on them too - she loves them as much as I do.
Right now, I'm reading Wanda Brunstetter's Sisters of Holmes County series and am on book one - A Sister's Secret.
Has anyone else read these type of books? If so, what do you think?
yes they are terrific I have read Sisters of Holmes county...just finished Wanda's newest book "Lydia's Charm" Excellent !
The Amish and the Hutterites are very similar cultures. I recently read a nonfiction book titled "I Am Hutterite" by somebody whose name I can't remember. Mary Ann Kirkby (I looked it up).
It's the story of growing up in a Hutterite community in Canada and it's good.
I think there is something relaxing about both cultures. Yes, relaxing while you work yourself to death 24/7. The mindset is different. Even the work is relaxing, at least for them. I would hate to give up my naps and long periods of reading.

I've never read books from either author but I am very intrigued by the Amish culture. Thank you so much for posting, I am so excited to get reading
OMG! I love Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter, too! And recently, I added Sarah Price to my list of favorite Amish Christian Romances authors.
The moment I flipped the last page of Sarah Price’s second book installment, “The Plain Change”, first thing I did was look for this forum and share how amazing the book is! The first book, “Plain Fame” under “The Amish of Lititz: The Plain Fame Trilogy” is awesome, you should get this book right now! I got mine through Amazon and you can use link below to order! Tell me what you think after reading the book because it totally flipped me!

I found this new Amish romance, ABIGAIL & TRENT, the beginning of a new series that adapts stories from classic literature into the modern Amish context. This first one is, clearly, ROMEO & JULIET, the the Old Order/New Order controversy separating the two young lovers. Great writing, great story (obviously), it's for Kindle and in paperback. I really liked it and I can't wait for the next installments.
