Yippee!

Beverly Lewis, my favorite author, is going to be doing a book signing somewhat close to my town next Monday! I can't think of any other author I would travel to get a book signed by, except maybe Jeanette Oake. Kaytlin and 2 of her friends are even planning to skip out of afternoon classes so we can get there and get our books signed!
Beverly Lewis writes children, teen and adult books. The books I love are her Amish suspense and romance novels. She offers an honest and real look at the Plain community. I feel that I have learned so much from reading her stories, even though they are mostly fictional, the traditions and secrets happen. Reading her Abram's Daughter series both thrilled and tore my heart apart! When a book can make you weep until you can't see the pages any more, you know that the writing is excellent and inspired by God!
These are books that I want my teen daughters to read. They show excellent reasons to wait until marriage for even a kiss, and it shows that sin has its consequences, but also that God is a forgiving God. Even when you are forgiven, some sins have lasting consequences.
Lewis has two books coming out, one for adults and one a children's book. I think I will pick up both since we have not read her children's books yet.
