I’m concerned that I will not be able to find the words
to adequately describe the brilliance of Leslie Gould’s writing. Readers will pick up A Simple Singing, Book
Two in The Sisters of Lancaster County series, and think they are purchasing a
nice, simple Amish novel. Oh no,
readers, you are getting much more. Leslie
Gould has given her readers a beautifully written, thought provoking, nuanced
current day and historical romantic novel.
The characters are not your cookie cutter Amish.
The main character is Marie. Her two suitors, Elijah and Gordon are forcing
Marie into a decision. Does she live the
life she assumed she should want or does she leave her comfort zone and reach
out for something more? Intertwined is a fascinating story of Marie’s
ancestor Annie who grew and stretched herself during the Civil War by nursing
the soldiers at the Gettysburg battle.
The story is rich in detail and full of God’s love for
his children. After reading A Simple
Singing, I felt enriched, both spiritually and intellectually. This book left my imagination singing. A Simple Singing was published July 31, 2018.
