Oh, what an excellent book, I can hardly wait for the next one....due out in 2011! Oh, that's okay, 2011 starts in a few hours, right??!??
"The Thorn" is the first book in the Rose Trilogy, and what a way to start. As usual, Beverly Lewis, winds a story and characters like no one else, I was captivated almost immediately. This story surrounds Rose, the younger sister, who is being pursued by two suitors, one Amish and one not-so-Amish. Her sister, nicknamed Hen, left the Amish community several years earlier and married the Englischer, Brandon, a cardinal sin. After having her own daugher, Hen reconsiders the lifestyle she wishes for her daughter and begins coming back around, missing her Amish roots. Hen's husband, Brandon, is not pleased with that decision and throws multiple obstacles in the way.
Rose, of course, had to bear the gossip and frustration that surrounded her older sister leaving, along with all of the other problems of daily living just running an Amish household, after Rose's mamm is wheelchair bound following a very unfortunate accident. Warning: As usual, Ms. Lewis leaves us anxiously awaiting the next installment at the conclusion of this book.......
