Amelia, a successful concert violinist, has a secret
passion. As Amy Lee, she enters contests and plays the fiddle at major venues.
It's her way of breaking free from the control of her father and agent. She's
tired of the constant traveling and a romance that has grown stale.
Michael, a young Amishman, still sits on the fence whether
or not to join the church or walk away from that life. He still honors God, but
the restrictions of his community leave him frustrated and unhappy.
On her way home from a fiddling gig, Amelia/Amy gets lost in
a raging storm. She happens upon a cabin in Amish country and meets the kind
Amishman. There's no way their worlds can intersect unless...
It's been years since I read a Beverly Lewis Amish novel.
After sampling a number of other authors in this genre, I moved on to explore
other books. Out of all the Amish authors, Ms. Lewis has been my favorite.
"The Fiddler," was a happy choice. The
storytelling, characters, and setting captured my imagination, and I spent many
hours enjoying Hickory Hollow. I might even pick up the next book in the
series. It was a pleasant change of pace for me.
Five Stars!
