The Mercy [Paperback] Lewis, Beverly

Rose Kauffman has abandoned her Amish community and the young man she was expected to marry. Now she's living with an English family, caught between two worlds — the Plain life she knows and the forbidden one she's testing. Back home, her sister Hen is trapped in a different kind of prison: a marriage to a man whose control tightens like a noose. As Rose navigates her fragile new independence, Hen faces an impossible choice between safety and submission. Beverly Lewis writes Amish fiction that doesn't romanticize — this is about women finding courage when tradition offers no exit door. The stakes are quiet but devastating: faith, family, and the kind of mercy that asks everything of you. For readers who want their Amish stories honest, emotionally grounded, and willing to sit with uncomfortable questions about belonging and breaking free.
