The Preacher's Daughter

Annie's People, Book 1

By: Beverly Lewis

Narrated by: Stina Nielsen

New York Times and USA Today best-selling Christian novelist Beverly Lewis continues her tradition of Amish stories with the Annie's People series. In the first book, Lewis addresses young Annie Zook's inner conflict between the strong bonds of her family and faith and the allurement of her talent. Her love of drawing has thus far prevented her from choosing a husband, much to her Old Order preacher father's consternation. Annie's feelings grow further convoluted when her longtime pen pal from the outside world, Louisa Stratford, comes to visit and encourages her to cultivate her gift.Don't miss more from Beverly Lewis.©2005 Beverly Lewis (P)2006 Recorded Books

Excellent listen! I couldn't stop listening

The person reading really made the characters come alive

The thorn trilogy because they were both dealing with the Amish

Annie

If you could rename The Preacher's Daughter, what would you call it?

Two worlds uniting

I'm hooked

Great characters; great story Now I have to read the other books in the series.

-1 for narrator

Great story, probably an awesome read but the narrator was annoying. Somebody should have informed her how to pronounce Zook. It's the same as book, took, look....not zoo. It was distracting and irritating and not the only mispronounciation.

The English friend comes to live Amish

Best friends because of their love of art is very interesting. Interesting how the rich friend from Colorado decided to come live with her Amish friend for awhile to observe the life style

A great narrator!

Another wonderful book by Beverly Lewis. I really enjoyed the narrator on this one because she really captured the lingo and expressions that I imagine Louisa having. A cozy book to cuddle up with under the covers to get lost in the story. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
