Forever Amish Book Review, Blog Tour and Giveaway


I wanted to tell you about the latest book in the Legacy of Lancaster trilogy, Forever Amish by Kate Lloyd.

You all know that I am a sucker for Amish books.  I read them quickly, enjoy them thoroughly and find them overall delightful.  There is something intriguing about the life of the Amish - the simplicity, the importance of faith, family and community. 

This book is about discovery, family, love and forgiveness.  And while I found some plot points predictable, there were several puzzle pieces I did not have placed correctly.  Lloyd did a great job weaving this story and bringing the characters to life.

Another thing to note is that this book could be read as a stand alone.  In general I always recommend reading complete series but if you weren't able to, this book is enjoyable by itself.

Read more about this book and author below.  Check out the full blog tour here.  And don't forget about the giveaway.  Purchase your own copy of this book here.

About the book
Forever Amish introduces us to a young woman about to uncover a shocking secret and find an invitation to a new way of living.  This is a story of forgiveness, legacies, and the ties that bind through generations.  It's the Last Thing She Expects to Find.  Sally Bingham needs some time away to sort through the changes in her life and to rethink her upcoming marriage.  Despite her ailing father's hesitations, she takes off for a bed and breakfast in Lancaster County for a weekend away.  But her best-laid plans leave her in a near collision with a bishop's buggy and in the home of a mysterious Amish woman named Lizzie.  Lizzie introduces her to a different perspective on life, a charming farmhand named Armin - and opens a Pandora's box that will forever change Sally's life.
