Come home to Hickory Hollow, Pennsylvania – the beloved setting where Beverly Lewis’s celebrated Amish novels began – with new characters and new stories of drama, romance, and the ties that draw people together.
A wrong turn in a rainstorm leads Englisher Amelia Devries to Michael Hostetler–and the young Amishman’s charming Old Order community of Hickory Hollow. Despite their very different backgrounds, Amelia and Michael both feel hemmed in by the expectations of others and struggle with how to find room for their own hopes. And what first seems to be a chance encounter might just change their lives forever.
Because The Fiddler follows Englisher Amelia, a large portion of this book is set in the outside world. It’s interesting following the demands of a professional violin player.
When Amelia’s car breaks down, and she meets Michael, a young Amishman, she ends up going to his Old Order Amish community, Hickory Hollow, with him.
Amelia and Michael are both trying to make difficult decisions in their lives. Despite being from opposite worlds, they are drawn together. After staying in Hickory Hollow for a time, Amelia must return to her world, her parents, her manager and her music. She must go on a European tour, even though her heart isn’t really in it. While she’s touring, Michael spends his time helping work his families farm.
They find each other again after Amelia’s tour, and realize that even though they are from different worlds, they are meant to be together.
The Fiddler is another great Beverly Lewis book you won’t want to put down.
