Publisher's summary

Will her choices forever separate Kate from her Amish community and the man she loves?

From USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Beckstrand

Kate Weaver was raised in an Amish home and has always been expected to choose baptism and strict observance of the Ordnung. But Kate is blessed with a beautiful singing voice, and when another path leads her to the academy for vocal training, she struggles to understand God’s will for her life. She returns to Apple Lake, haunted by a violent encounter with a fellow student, and finds herself drawn to the peace and devotion of her Amish home. But can she give up her dreams? Or will her calling forever separate her from the people and the way of life she holds so dear?

Nathaniel King has never wavered in his commitment to the community and the Old Order Amish Church into which he is baptized. He has been in love with Kate for as long as he can remember, and he is devastated when she leaves Apple Lake to attend the academy. When Kate returns, will she make his most profound hopes a reality—or will she break his heart all over again?

Praise for Kate's Song by Jennifer Beckstrand

This is a book about love, faith in God, family, trials, misunderstandings, gossip and true happiness and joy!! I loved it and will keep it to read again. Great writing about the Amish, but anyone would love reading it. Very thought provoking. Jennifer Beckstrand is awesome and has a great heart and mind for writing books.

I have been reading Amish fiction for years now. However, "Kate's Song" is completely different from so many other Amish books that have the standard heroine who experiences conflict and then it all works out in the end. While there is nothing wrong with that, "Kate's Song" captures the very hearts of its two main characters. Ms. Beckstrand has managed to convey the very depth of struggles that believers face. She did not sugarcoat the angst and turmoil that one faces when seeking the face of God. How she managed to convey that is a skill and talent I have not seen before. She doesn't present the Amish as a perfect standard of faith as some writers do, but presents REAL struggles and a real understanding of Scripture. (Blog Review)

I'd give this book 10 stars if I could. I always enjoy reading Amish stories but none have moved me as much as this one. Superbly written, with great twists to keep the reader turning pages from beginning to end, Kate's Song by Jennifer Beckstrand is sure to delight everyone. Personally, I can't say enough about it. The author paints an amazing picture of the Amish community and brings the readers into the story, so much so that one can't help but love the characters, feeling their every joy and pain.
