      I picked this book up at a thrift store because i thought it looked interesting. It sat on my book shelf for almost a year, until I started going through my books looking for something good to read. By the time i got through the first few pages, I was hooked. I read this book nonstop when i had the chance, and finished it in just over a day. The drama that occurs in this book is very taboo, which makes it an even better read. I live in Pennsylvania and have always interacted with Amish. I am fascinated by their lifestyle, and Beverly Lewis gave me a chance to understand some of how Amish live on a daily basis. After I finished The Covenant, I ran to the nearest bookstore and bought the next book in the series, which is The Betrayal. That is how it was every other night or so when I would finish the next book, I would be so deeply into the lives of these characters that I simply couldn't wait to find out what happened next. The Covenant is easily nbhone of the best books that I have ever read.

      I thought this book was well written. Reading about an Amish Family (A very Traditional one at that) was interesting. Learning a little about their lives and what they do is sort of neat.

      I lvoed the book. It was so interesting reading about Amish customs and lifestyle. The book capivated my attention and it was hard to put down. The characters came to life and so did thir feelings. It was very well written. I will read more ov Beverly Lewis books because I enjoyed this one so much

      I was not aware of the Amish fiction genre until I kept seeing these books at the library with women with bonnets on the cover. I decided to give one a try. I liked it more than I thought I would, maybe even enough to read the next in the series. It was nice to read a book that was so linear and straightforward and just told a story where nothing was too complicated.

      Loved it! Couldn't put it down. My heart went out to the girls. Started on the second book right after I finnished book 1 - I needed to know how the girls were coping. I felt as though I was with them on their farm and at one with their grief.

      This book is outside the realm of the types of books I usually read, but it is a very good book, nonetheless! It transports me into a world and belief system very different from my own, which is very relaxing. While this book has quite a bit of spirituality blended in, it is mainly a story about love and family.

      A simple book about four sisters growing up in a Amish family and what happens when the older sister steps outside the rules of her Amish faith.

      Beverly Lewis does not disappoint with this first installment in the Abram's Daughters series. Although it is similar to other writers of this type of Christian fiction, Beverly Lewis' books are just a cut above the rest. I enjoyed this book as well as the rest of the series very much.

      What a very well written story! Challenges, trials and promise.

      There are secrets and dramas happening even in the places you wouldn't expect it. I was pretty interested in the goings on with the girls. This book is fairly short and only the beginning. I'd like to read the next book at some point to find out what happens.

      Though deeply religious and acting in accordance with their faith, the Amish aren’t immune to the failings of all people. Keeping secrets, giving into temptations, lying, and more creep into Amish life. The first book of this series sets up some pretty awful happenings. The writing is quite good, and characters and plot develop at a good pace. The ending will lead you right into the next installment, so be sure you have it handy, because you won’t want to stop with the first novel.

      Leah has always been the son that Abram and Ida Ebersol never had. She has always helped her father with running the farm and caring for the livestock. But as she nears 16, she will be allowed to attend social gatherings with the other young members of her Amish community and she begins to yearn for more than farming duties. Sadie is the eldest Ebersol daughter and is already socializing with the boys, perhaps more than she should. But when Sadie begins meeting a young man in the woods, whose identity and existence is kept a secret from her family, she may be in danger of loosing her heart and her home. As Sadie continues along her dangerous path, Leah is discovering hers...but neither of them expects the path to be so rocky and winding.This is book 1 of the Abraham’s Daughters series. It was very good and I am about to pick up book 2 of 5. It will be interesting to see what is in store for the five Ebersol daughters.
