(I had several books started so that is why I'm finishing several lately! I have another I'm nearly done with also.)
The Preacher's Daughter by Beverly Lewis is the first in a series called "Annie's People." The setting is the Plain community of Paradise, Pennsylvania. Annie Zook, the main character, is the daughter of an Amish preacher and has a secret that keeps her from joining church. Her pen pal Louisa Stratford, a "fancy Englisher," comes to visit to escape her own troubles. Together the girls help each other through their difficulties.
I have read many books by this author and always enjoy learning about a different way of living. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I found it at the library, but then one of my friends loaned me the whole set!

I was actually born and raised in my elementary school years very close Paradise, PA. Even though I moved away many years ago, my Mom and step dad still live near by. I love going home and visiting some of my Amish and Old Order Mennonite friends. They are wonderful people.
