Club Review
Beverly Lewis’ newest bestseller on Amish life, The Forbidden, Book #2 in The Courtship of Nellie Fisher series, is a must-read for lovers of great Christian fiction.
Even a split in their church hasn’t extinguished Caleb and Nellie’s love for each other, but the demands of one man—Caleb’s unyielding father—stands in their way and threatens to destroy their plans for the future. He has forbidden his son to continue his courtship of Nellie, but harsh words alone can’t stop Caleb’s devotion. Yet, if he continues to pursue Nellie and ask for her hand in marriage, he risks losing everything he stands to inherit.
But Nellie, too, is torn. In her deepest heart, she longs to marry Caleb, her Old Order beau, yet can’t ignore the gentle pull she feels toward the faith of her New Order family. While still struggling to come to terms with her grief over the recent death of her beloved sister, Nellie visits the Mennonite friends who were with Suzy on that fateful day when she drowned.
Will Nellie discover at last the missing pieces of her sister’s life—and her own future as well? And can she and her beloved Caleb satisfy the expectations of their people while remaining true to their hearts?
