The library here is small. Like really small. Unable to find books by any of my favorite authors, I decided to just give a few random titles a try while I wait for my inter-library loan requests to come through. So far they've all been a bust.
The latest one is by an author named Beverly Lewis, and I could not get past the first 10 pages for the poor writing. As I was looking at the back cover again trying to remember what made me think it might be worth reading, I noticed the large quote of praise in the center of the cover:
"No one does Amish-based inspirationals better than Lewis."
Could the praise get any narrower than that? Was there a lot of competition in the "Amish-based inspirational" category? Judging by this book, I'd say not.

So sorry to hear you don't like Beverly Lewis. She is one of my absolute favorites for Amish fiction writing. I hope you get your requests soon.
I agree about her writing...it seems kinda forced or juvenile sometimes. But I have read another Amish fiction writer's books too (Barbara something?), and I have to say that Beverly Lewis IS better. Which is sad.
