The Bridesmaid by Beverly Lewis

Back Cover:

Joanna Kurtz has made several trips to the altar, but never as a bride. The young Amishwoman is a closet writer whose stories aren't her only secret.

Eben Troyer hopes to make Joanna his bride--if he can ever leave his parents' farm in Shipshewana, Indiana. Yet Eben's hopes to build a life with Joanna hinge on his brother's return from the English world....

 

Review:

Beverly Lewis has written another successful Amish novel. I really enjoyed The Bridesmaid, with its wonderful story, characters, and setting.

Joanna Kurtz is such a great character. I related so well with her and her struggles. She worries about her future, twenty four and still unmarried. When she meets and falls in love with Eben Troyer, her problems only increase – now having a secret long distance relationship and difficulties with her sister Cora Jane.

Joanna has grown up in Hickory Hollow, the beautiful Amish town Joanna loves and has committed herself to. It is evident that Beverly Lewis loves this place, and expresses this to the reader. Hickory Hollow came alive for me as I followed Joanna and Eben’s story.

 

Beverly Lewis did such an excellent job on The Bridesmaid. It has the perfect combination of romance, excitement, and anticipation to not be able to put the book down!
