Product Description

This re-release of Beverley Lewis's classic entry-novel into the Amish world of romantic Lancaster County gives you a new opportunity to enjoy the beginning of the 5 part ‘Abram’s Daughters’ saga, and an ideal gift opportunity: to introduce another to the joys, passions and heart aches of love and faith in this unique Old Order community.

In this, a stirring coming of age story, Sadie is the oldest in a family of 4 young Amish girls living in Lancaster County, Philadelphia. She wants to test the boundaries of her freedom – something she is allowed to do from 16 until they make their covenant with the church and the way of life of the “plain” people. But Sadie falls in love with a boy outside of the Amish society. Now she, her family and the community face a dilemma: will she choose this young man and forsake her family and all she knows? Or will she listen to her younger sister, Leah, urging Sadie to forget the “English” boy because she doesn’t want any shame to fall on her family, because her own courting days are close?

Featuring an updated cover, this fresh new-look of 'The Covenant' unveils the deep rooted traditions of the Amish life through the eyes of Leah and Sadie. Leah, who relishes her life in the Amish community and her sister Sadie who looks set to leave for the outside world. Leah must hold onto her faith and the promises of God as she faces difficult decisions. The Covenant follows Leah and Sadie Ebersol and their experiences as courting-aged sisters within an Amish community called Gobbler's Knob. Leah has everything she needs at Gobblers Knob, but her comfortable lifestyle starts to unravel when she agrees to a risky pact with her sister Sadie. Beverly Lewis' ‘The Covenant is a critically acclaimed Amish romantic fiction novel that won the 2006 ECPA Gold Award and has sold more than half a million copies.

‘The Covenant’ is Beverley Lewis’ introduction to life, love and faith in fascinating world of Pennsylvania’s Amish community. First in the series of 5 novels of Sadie and Leah Abrams, this tale of love and loyalty tests the will of individuals against the traditions of a whole community, and proves the real strength that lies deep in people of faith.

Born Beverly Marie Jones, the author retains a keen interest in her mother's Plain heritage Amish and Mennonite roots. Appearing regularly as a New York Times bestselling author, now with over eighty books to her name, Beverley began writing short stories and poetry at 9 years old. A former schoolteacher, and musician from the age of 5, much of her writing focuses on the life and community of the Old Order Amish. Beverley’s maternal grandmother, Ada Ranck Buchwalter, was born into the Mennonite Church – the origin of the Amish strand in the Anabaptist tradition. Her father was a pastor in Lancaster, Pennsylvania - the heartland of the Pennsylvania Dutch community.

Growing up, Beverley was raised as, and continues to be, part of the Assemblies of God community before going away to study at their affiliated Evangel University, Missouri. Married to David Lewis, the couple have 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren, and live in Colorado. Widely considered to be the originator and inspiration for the current wave of interest in Amish-related novels, her 1997 novel, The Shunning - an Amish based romance set in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - was the year’s shock bestseller and has since sold more than a million copies.

For Beverley Lewis, the themes of her Amish novels strike a chord with her own family history and experience. One Amish-country newspaper declared Beverly's work to be "a primer on Lancaster County folklore," and offering "an insider's view of Amish life." With her re-release of her book ‘The Covenant’ for autumn 2012, Beverley takes her readers on a return journey of exploration into the romantic lives and loves of the Lancaster County Amish.

Abram's Daughters introduces you to an Old Order family, a close-knit community and a devout people whose way of life and faith in God is as timeless as their signature horse and buggy. Set against the backdrop of post-World War II, this compelling saga spans three generations of a Lancaster County Amish family. Abram Ebersol and his devoted wife are raising four courting-age daughters on a firm foundation of Plain tradition, and they expect their girls to carry on that heritage by joining the church and making a covenant with God.

But the "running-around" years known as 'rumschpringe' are often a time of sowing wild oats. Each of Abram's daughters, choosing her own path, must come to terms with the Old Ways of thinking and living. And sometimes that path has detours and forks in the road with unknown destinations. The Plain community of Gobbler's Knob holds everything courting-age Leah Ebersol has ever desired, including handsome young Jonas Mast. But a pact with her older sister, Sadie, lured by the outside world, leaves Leah clinging to the promise of a tomorrow that might never come.

First in the series that includes the 5 books: The Covenant, The Betrayal, The Sacrifice, The Prodigal and The Revelation.
