Nearly one hundred days have passed since the untimely death of Nellie Mae Fisher's beloved younger sister, Suzy, and Nellie dares again to dream of a future with handsome Caleb Yoder. But with rumors about Suzy still flying among the People, there are those who would keep the young courting couple apart...including Caleb's own father. Meanwhile, a growing number of Honeybrook's Amish farmers are demanding tractors and other forbidden modern conveniences. When a revival adds to the tensions, passions flare. With the Old Order community pushed to the breaking point, Nellie and Caleb find their families--and themselves--in the midst of what threatens to become an impossible divide. The Courtship of Nellie Fisher, Book 1. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A MAN'S OPINION: A 5-STAR WARNING: READ THIS NOW BEFORE YOU BUYOkay, the "five-star warning" is simply the fact that if you buy this "Book 1" of "The Courtship of Nellie Fisher" series, you will have to buy two more books.

Rating:  - Just OKThis is the second series of books that I am reading by Beverly Lewis. Abram's Daughters was my first series and that was FANTASTIC! This series starts off rather boring with The Parting. There isn't enough character development.

With this series, the Courtship of Nellie Fisher, you barely know Nellie, yet alone her sisters or her brothers. The brothers have pretty much zero role in the ...

Rating: - You just keep wanting more...I must say the cover of this book pulled me in. My parents came from NE PA and I grew up eating chicken & waffles, chicken pot pie (made in a pressure cooker of all things) and shoo-fly pie. While my roots aren't linked directly with Lancaster County, I have always been very interested in the Amish. I am also a proud New Yorker with a lovely hex sign displayed on my home! Please take the time to read this book. I am sure you will enjoy it every bit as much as I did. Is it a "youth fiction", ... Read More |
