I finished The Parting by Beverly Lewis today. It is the first book in a new series called "The Courtship of Nellie Fisher."
Nellie Mae is the main character of this novel.The Fisher family is grieving the loss of one of their daughters, Suzy. Nellie Mae is working through her grief and finds out some disturbing and then interesting things about Suzy when she reads her sister's diary. Trouble seems to be brewing for the Amish community because of disagreements many are having with the Old Order. Nellie Mae has a new beau, Caleb Yoder. How will the disagreements in the community impact their growing relationship?
I would recommend this book. I always enjoy Beverly Lewis' writing about the Amish. I also saw today on an online ad I got from Mardel that the second in the series called The Forbidden. I will look forward to reading that one too.

I'm reading a book by her right now. It's the second book of The Heritage of Lancaster County series. I have already read The Shunning, and now I'm on The Confession. I really am enjoying it!
I enjoy reading her books when I have a chance.
