Amelia Devries finds herself living an artistic double life: she's a talented concert violinist who's also very good at fiddling. But fiddling doesn't fit into the plans of her musician boyfriend, her violinist father, or her agent. When a severe thunderstorm strands her in the rural mountains of Pennsylvania, she takes refuge at a cabin inhabited by Michael Hostetler, a young fence-sitting Amish man who can't decide whether to take the formal vows to join the Amish community. Her chance connection with Michael allows Amelia an opening into his community, while Michael finds himself increasingly attracted to the outsider. Lewis's presentation of Amish life portrays the advantages and disadvantages of a community with definite rules and a solidarity that can be both enviable and constraining. The musical motifs offer welcome variation on very familiar Amish themes that Lewis renders in virtuoso style. This opens the *Home to Hickory Hollow* series, but stands alone nicely.
New from #1 Bestselling Author Beverly Lewis
Amelia "Amy" DeVries, a 24-year-old violinist, is disillusioned with life and love after the collapse of her long-running romance. Weary of endless rehearsals and performances, Amy sets out on a road trip through the Pennsylvania mountains. She leaves her cell phone behind so life's demands can't intrude on her solitude. She doesn't know, nor care, where she will end up.
When her car breaks down deep in the mountains, Amy realizes the flaw in her "no cell phone" plan. She abandons her car and walks the winding roads, searching for help. Following the smell of woodsmoke and the sound of music, she finds a rustic log cabin. There she meets a young Amishman--and through him a community--that will change her life forever.

Surprising
I am not a fan of Amish stories yet I really enjoyed this one. I love the blend of Amish and English. I loved how Amelia and Michael both learnt from each other's cultures. I found that I could understand the struggles they were both going through and I was encouraged by their faith. Beverley Lewis writes in such a way that I found myself feeling at peace as I roamed around Hickory Hollow with the characters. This was an enjoyable book to read.

A pleasant journey
If you enjoy Beverly Lewis' work, then you will enjoy this. It is a lovely old fashioned love story. I found Michael's struggles particularly interesting - did he have to remain Amish to stay true to his faith? I gleaned more about the Old Order Amish from other Lewis books, this novel provides much less detail about all of that. It is a quick easy read.

Great :)
Anyone who loves music can relate to this novel, I play violin and that is what caused me to pick it up. This book weaves its way through the expectations others can put on us and the expectations we can put on ourselves, not lacking in advice from the Wise woman, Ella-mae. Once you pick it up you can't put it down, and you won't be sorry once you've read it. Another beautiful tale from Beverly Lewis. Come and find your place in Hickory Hollow.
