Product Description

Product Description

In the seemingly ordinary Amish home of Grace Byler, secrets abound. Why does her mother weep in the night? Why does her father refuse to admit something is dreadfully wrong? Then, in one startling moment, everything Grace assumed she knew is shattered. Her mother's disappearance leaves Grace reeling and unable to keep her betrothal promise to her long-time beau. Left to pick up the pieces of her life, Grace questions all she has been taught about love, family, and commitment. Heather Nelson is an English grad student, stunned by a doctor's diagnosis. Surely fate would not allow her father to lose his only daughter after the death of his wife a few years before. In denial and telling no one she is terminally ill, Heather travels to Lancaster County--the last place she and her mother had visited together. Will Heather find healing for body and spirit? As the lives of four wounded souls begin to weave together like an Amish patchwork quilt, they each discover missing pieces of their life puzzles--and glimpse the merciful and loving hand of God.

3.0 out of 5 stars A cliff-hanger, Aug 4 2009
By Jolene Togeretz - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first book in a new series by Beverly Lewis, The Secret tells the story of Grace Byler, an Amish girl who lives in a house of secrets. Her mother wanders the house at night, pale and tearful, but will not open up to her family the reason for her distress. Her father remains silent, leaving Grace and her siblings confused and concerned. What is the deep and painful mystery that holds this family?

I found this book to be very slow moving, even compared to Lewis' other books about the Amish community. Also, the ending left me with a lot of questions unanswered. I would like to see this series bound together as a 3- or 4-in-1 book at some point, as I feel that would create better continuity for the reader. As it stands, I think this book on its own is not as strong as it could have been, but is still quite intriguing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait for the Followup!, April 28 2009
By Ellen Graf-Martin "Ellen's Picks" (Ontario) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I can understand why Beverly Lewis has addicted fans... this story left me longing for more and waiting for the next in the series (coming this fall, fortunately!).

Even in a quiet Amish setting, mystery and romance abound, secrets are kept and families struggle. "The Secret" weaves two stories together - that of the Amish Byler family - holding long-time family secrets; and that of Heather - an 'Englischer' outsider facing devestating illness and looking for peace in her mother's beloved Amish country.

I didn't realize that Amish fiction could be gripping and keep me up late at night reading, but Lewis has made it happen.
