In fact, in my chapter of a major writing organization, more than once I've mentioned I write LDS chick lit and someone has immediately jumped to "Amish" from there. Interesting . . .

I'm sorry I'm visiting a little late, I've been on deadline. (Revisions for book 3 of the series, Autumn's Promise)

Anyway, I certainly enjoyed reading all about you and your beautiful girls, and your very busy life!

Thank you for your kind review. When I first started writing about the Amish, many things (such as those refrigerators) confused me. I'm so thankful for my Old Order Amish friend who helps me with my questions. Just yesterday I received a note from her…she just got back from a vacation to Florida! She and her husband went even went on a tour of the everglades. Just imagining them in their Plain clothes, looking at the alligators made me smile.

Again, thank you for giving my book a try. God Bless.

sounds interesting. I'll have to see if my library has it.

I'm just like you — I tend to rush out and double check information as soon as I read it, and oftentimes it's later explained, but I'm such an information nerd, that I like to know the facts right then and there. 🙂

Anyway, thanks for being on the tour! As always, fantastic review.

That is really cool. My hubby teaches Mormon lit at BYU, and he loves to hear about this kind of thing. Thanks for the heads up. 🙂

I have been wanting to read some of the books published by Beverly Lewis (I believe). I will definately have to give this was a read. Thanks for your review of this book. How do you get asked to do these book reviews? I love reading and would love the opportunity once in awhile.
