Nellie Mae Fisher’s younger sister Suzy died in an accident several months ago. Being a young woman in her Rumschpringe years, Suzy had been the subject of unkind gossip within the Old Order Amish community due to having been seen in the company of non-Amish boys, and her death before she officially joined the church merely gave the Elders further reason for condemnation. Unfortunately for Nellie Mae, one of the firmest in his belief that the Fisher girls were all fast and worldly, was David Yoder, the father of her boyfriend Caleb. When the community becomes split between those who hold to the Old Ways and those who wish to make some changes, the Yoders and the Fishers find themselves on opposite sides of the fence. David gives Caleb an ultimatum: break off with Nellie or be disinherited. Book Number: 137 Number Of Pages: 350 Book Title: The Forbidden Author: Beverly Lewis Summary: Christian fiction. After Caleb Yoder’s father forbids him to continue dating her, Nellie Mae Fisher is torn. Should she stay with the Old Order church against the wishes of her parents in an effort to sway the opinion of Caleb’s father? Or should she turn to the New Order church, with its emphasis on having a personal relationship with the Lord? Having read Suzy’s diary and learned that her late sister had embraced the beliefs of the New Order, she found herself tempted to join if only to try to see what Suzy found so special.

Meanwhile Caleb chafes under his father’s restrictions, but finds himself tied to the man much more closely than before when David is badly injured in an accident.

Unfortunately, Annie’s church is one that forbids such doings. Her passion for her art has already caused her to break off with her boyfriend, who was pushing her to join the church and get married. Annie takes solace in her correspondence with her Englisher pen-pal Louisa, a modern woman from Colorado. When Louisa breaks things off with her own fiancé, she decides to escape her troubles for a time by visiting Annie and immersing herself in Plain life.

Caught by her father, Annie is ordered to stop seeing Ben immediately and to promptly begin instruction for baptism into the church. Angered by her father’s sternness towards her actions while he ignores her brother’s purchase of a forbidden car as well as dating an Englisher girl, she instead leaves home to move in with her oldest friend, whose mentally unstable husband Zeke has just turned himself in to the police for the murder of his little brother some sixteen years before. Book Number: 141 Number Of Pages: 349 Book Title: The Brethren Author: Beverly Lewis Summary: Christian fiction. Ben Martin was devastated when Annie wrote of her father’s ultimatum, but feeling he’d gotten her in enough trouble, chose not to try to see her one last time. He saw Annie’s prize-winning painting and despite being a Kentucky boy, felt he knew the place in the picture. A visit to his parents in Kentucky revealed a long-hidden secret: he was not born to them, but adopted at approximately the age of four. That he’d been found on a doorstep and taken to child services, and that it had been months before he spoke, a phenomenon chalked up to his having been traumatized in some way. On his return to Pennsylvania, Ben runs into Annie at the old covered bridge of her painting, where he tells his story and she theorizes that he might just be the little brother Zeke believes he killed. Her father refuses to listen to her idea at first, assuming that his headstrong daughter is merely trying to make her Englisher boyfriend more acceptable to the People. But events soon prove that Ben is indeed the boy long thought dead, and he is accepted into the community and church. And by way of apology, Annie’s father takes on the local bishop to win permission for her to take up her painting once more.
