The best-selling story of Katie Lapp, who longs for things forbidden to a young Amish woman. But an unexpected discovery reveals her true past. Heritage of Lancaster County book 1.
My Thoughts...
This was my first Amish book, starting off with the popular author, Beverly Lewis. Although this starter in a trilogy was enjoyable and at times, beautiful, the text felt fake at times. It was just too predictable for me, I knew almost all of the things by the middle of the book by simply guessing...and I was right! After correctly guessing, the text was long and included many unnecessary details with very plain writing. Now, there are probably many avid readers who like simpler writing but I was wanting more descriptions and longer sentences! Some of the action so the Amish actually surprised me though. I did not know that they were that hard and they enforced many strict rules that I would have never thought would be a part of their living. The plot just did not have any huge twists and was too predictable the whole way through. The main character was simply too rebellious when she was curious, and she kept bothering her mother to the point where I wanted to slam the book down and say to her "just leave the problem alone!" She was clearly not suppose to inquire, it was for her own good. This book was okay, not good or great...I might be reading some of her books in the future If they are different plot wise but for now I might move on and come back. This book is the first one in a trilogy series with two movies released.
