I finished The Brethren which is book #3 in the "Annie's People" series by Beverly Lewis. I read book #1 (The Preacher's Daughter) and book #2 (The Englisher) in 2008.Annie Zook, who is the daughter of Preacher Jesse Zook, lives in Paradise, Pennsylvania. Due to a promise to her father to abandon her art, she goes to live with her friend, Esther, who is shunned by the people. Her former "fancy" beau Ben Martin comes back to town from Kentucky where he went after Annie sent him away when her father found out about their courtship. The brethren have another issue in Zeke, Esther's husband. He confesses to killing his little brother years ago. After the discovery that the bones aren't even actually his brothers, Zeke receives medical attention to help him work through all his issues.
This is a story of hope, change, and possibilities. I have always enjoyed books by Beverly Lewis and this is no exception.
