Publisher's summary

Eva Esch and her sisters are in a predicament. With the passing of their widowed mother, Eva's older brother plans to move his growing family into the Eden Valley farmhouse where they all grew up, leaving little room for his three single sisters. Unless they marry within the year, the only apparent option is for two sisters to go to Indiana to live with an elderly great-aunt. Eva hopes to be married, but she isn't sure she wants to give up her sweet shop for the life of a farmer's wife. And she can't see how her prospects would be any better in Indiana.

When younger sister Lily disappears in the night, leaving only a brief note, Eva fears she has been wooed away from the People by an outsider. And when Jed Stutzman, a young Amish buggy maker from Ohio, shows up at Eva's market stand in Lancaster with a photo of a Plain young woman, Eva's world begins to tilt. She feels powerfully drawn to the quietly charming stranger - but the woman in the forbidden photograph is no stranger at all....

Slow.

This was not one of her better books. It was long and just dragged on. I was skipped a few chapters and didn’t miss anything.

The Photograph

This was a lovely story and I do recommend it. The Narration was so well done. I always listen to the Sample to get the sound of the Narrator. This was told to me by one of the Audible Helping Staff. I do it now before I decide on every book.
Pleased that I followed up reading this one. It seemed to have some of the earlier people popping into the story from time to time. A mention was called of Ada Mae, who was 'The Wise One" that lived on Hickory Lane. I have read of her in Beverly Lewis' other stories. This book is "The Fiddler".

Amish life and love

Lovely story of Amish lifestyle and love. You follow one family 's trial when their youngest sister decides to go "fancy ". You also learn of their way of life in the midst of today's culture. GREAT narration!

Photo tells a story

The Photograph LP Beverly Lewis

I read the book as well as listened. Reading the book held my interest better than listening.

After the deaths of her parents, Lily Esch runs away with her English boyfriend. This causes more pain and grieving for her family. She takes a self-picture of herself, which is forbidden by the People. She loses the picture in a book on the train. Enter Jed from Ohio (on way to Lancaster Co. to fulfill an apprenticeship) who thinks he has met the girl in the photograph (found book on train). Upon finding out that the photo is actually a runaway, Jeb decides to initiate search in Ohio.
