The Beginning

By: Beverly Lewis

Narrated by: Leah Horowitz

Susie Mast's Old Order life in Lancaster County's Hickory Hollow has been shaped by events beyond her control, with the tragic deaths of her Dat and close-in-age brother casting a particularly long shadow. Now 22, Susie remains unmarried despite her longtime affection for friend Obie Yoder. Believing Obie might never show romantic interest in her, Susie accepts Del Petersheim's invitations - it is only after Obie leaves to take an apprenticeship that Susie realizes her mistake.

Unfortunately, Susie's cares are soon multiplied due to her mother's worsening health and her younger sister's desire for answers about her adoption. Once again, Susie faces the possibility of loss. Will family secrets and missed opportunities dim Susie's hopes for the future? Or is what seems like the end only the beginning?

Lovely Amish snapshot.

I’ve just recently discovered the author, and have enjoyed the easy relationship between the the Mama and sisters in this story. Although the narrator did a fine job of putting voices to the characters; the cadence of the story telling was quite lacking. Too bad. I do, however, look forward to hearing other books by Beverly Lewis.

Great book!

I enjoyed this book. I felt like I really got to know the characters well. It kept my attention.

Another CLASSIC!

Narrator was fine, however, the volume kept going up and down throughout.
The story kept me riveted though

Wonderful story

This story is so beautiful with its intertwined story of forgiveness and love. It tells of Jesus love for each and every person.It also tells of His plans that He always has waiting until we trust Him. The performance is very easy to listen to enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good book.

Another Great One.

Loved the story line and the little surprises. Hope there is a sequence. Just visited Lancaster.
