\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Childhood memories of her grandfather’s ranch came alive as Beth wrote her first Amish story. Her parents grew up in the country, so she understands pastoral life and respects those who make a living off the land. She frequents a nearby Amish community just south of Fort-Worth for an occasional church service or brunch with the bishop and his wife. And on the way home she stops at the community store to get some plum jam!<\/p>\n

In 2003 Beth began writing her first book. A couple of years later it was published and she has been writing ever since. Beth received a degree in social work from the University of Nebraska and was a case worker before starting a family. Beth followed her passion and has written in a variety of genres in both fiction and non-fiction.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After learning the truth about who she really is, can this prodigal daughter be accepted back into the safety and security of home?<\/p>\n

Annie Beiler seems to have it all\u2014a loving family in a tight-knit Amish community and the affections of an attractive and respected young man. But when she learns that she was adopted after being found as an abandoned newborn, she sets out on a journey to find out who she is.<\/p>\n

Her father is strongly against her decision to leave, as it could mean Meidung, or excommunication from the community and even her family. But Annie knows she must find \u201cthe path that has her heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Annie\u2019s search brings her into the fast-paced world of modern life, she is confronted with all of the temptations she was warned of. Can she make her way back to the order and security of her family? Or will she remain an outsider\u2014torn between her two worlds?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For true fans of Amish fiction,\u00a0Annie’s Truth<\/a> adds yet another choice of books in that genre. Featuring members of an old order Amish community, the narrative reveals several differences between various sects and gives the reader an inside look at their lives. The story itself was interesting, particularly the varied reactions to Annie’s time away from the community. With a primary message of forgiveness,\u00a0 Annie’s Truth<\/a> was quickly read and enjoyable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
