New York Times best-selling author's continuing tale of a courting couple and the separation of families during an Amish split in Lancaster County. The Courtship of Nellie Fisher book 2.

Book two of Lewis's series is exactly the kind of predictable Amish novel her readers have come to expect: multiple character plot lines, romantic entanglements, tension within the religious community, and at least one tragedy. Here, Lewis continues the saga of Nellie Mae Fisher, whose Amish family embraces a "New Order" personal faith that defies the "Old Order" beliefs they've always held dear. Nellie hopes to marry Caleb Yoder, but because of her family's change of belief, Caleb's father forbids him to marry Nellie on pain of losing his inheritance. Nellie's sister Rhoda is drawn into the modern world and its promise of convenience, excitement and automobiles, while a couple who have been given a set of twins to raise discover that their burgeoning interest in the New Order faith causes the birth mother to have second thoughts about their fitness as adoptive parents. Lewis's readers seemingly can't get enough of her tales about Amish life, and this latest installment won't disappoint.

Beverly Lewis, raised in Pennsylvania Amish country, is a former schoolteacher, an accomplished musician, and an award-winning author of more than seventy books, many of which have appeared on bestseller lists, including USA Today and the New York Times. Her novel The Brethren won a 2007 Christy Award for excellence in Christian fiction. Beverly and her husband, David, live in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The Good Book Stall

Continuing the story of Nellie Mae and her love for Caleb Yoder, we are taken further into the conflicts arising from a ‘Revival’ among the Amish people, splitting the communities into three factions and tearing families asunder, Nellie Mae and Caleb are caught up in the acrimony between some of the people, notably Caleb’s father and the Fisher family who have chosen to join the New Order families. Other strands of the story weave onward, some to surprising ends, some not yet resolved and we have to wait for the next volume. I thoroughly enjoy reading Beverly Lewis’s Amish novels, she writes with a knowledge of the community drawn from her own Mothers Plain family background.   
If you can, read first The Parting Book One of this series.
