Review:
I'm rounding out my summer by finally writing reviews for a few books that have been collecting dust on my desk for quite sometime. Yes, it's quite odd for me to delay reading an Amish fiction novel, but that's exactly what happened with The River by Beverly Lewis, which was published last September.
The River centers on two former Amish sisters, Tilly and Ruth, whom are returning to Lancaster County for their parent's wedding anniversary. Tilly is now married with children and has unresolved issues about going back home. At first both of them were going to decline the invite, but after hearing about their father's health issues, they decide to attend.
Once they arrive back in Lancaster County, the sisters must finally deal with their pasts. For Tilly, she must find a way to get over the death of their other sister that died by the river when they were young. Lastly, Ruth must deal with her unresolved feelings for an old flame.
