Inspiring New Novel from the "Biggest Name in Amish Fiction"Eva Esch and her sisters are in a predicament. With the passing of their widowed mother, Eva's older brother Menno plans to move his growing family into the Eden Valley farmhouse where they all grew up, leaving little room for his three single sisters. Surely, Menno reasons, at least one of them will marry this coming wedding season. Eva does hope to marry, but she isn't sure she wants to give up her sweet shop for the life of a farmer's wife, and she has no other prospects. 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 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. . . .

From the Inside Flap Our older sister, Frona, had been fretting over Lily just as I was. She especially worried over what was to become of the three of us, since we were still unmarried and living in the farmhouse where we grew up. Living there on borrowed time, since our brother Menno had inherited the place."Tonight we'll have some answers," Frona informed me this mid-May morning. "I just hope we like what we hear.""Well, I guess we'll know soon enough." I've learned in my twenty years that a person really has no idea how life's going to play out. Things often start out fine and then take a hard turn. Dat and Mamma, healthy as they seemed, left us in their prime. Jah, I knew firsthand that when hard times came, you needed something to cling to. Unfortunately for pretty Lily, Mamma had always been her rock during such times, and without her around, Lily seemed lost. We all were, in our own way, just not nearly as openly, nor as desperately.
From the Back Cover He studied the picture more closely, finding it curious that the young woman looked so boldly into the camera while wearing a white prayer Kapp shaped like a heart--the characteristic head covering for the Lancaster County Old Order Amish. Why would a devout girl have her picture taken? When her sister Lily disappears only months after their widowed mother's passing, Eva Esch fears she has been wooed away from the People. Yet Lily's disappearance isn't Eva's only concern: She and her sisters must relocate once their older brother takes over the family farmhouse. Then Jed Stutzman, an Amish buggy maker from Ohio, shows up in Eden Valley with a photo of a Plain young woman. Eva feels powerfully drawn to the charming stranger--but the woman in the forbidden photograph is no stranger at all. . . .

10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Another hit from Beverly Lewis! By Kris Anderson - The Avid Reader The Photograph by Beverly Lewis is her latest Amish fiction book. It is 1980 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Eva Esch lives with her sisters Frona and Lily in the family home. Both of their parents have passed away and the farm went to the youngest son, Menno (a pompous blowhard with a big head). Menno has been working the farm since their father passed away, but his family does not live on the farm. Menno has decided to take over the farmhouse and the three sisters cannot stay (can you believe him). Menno said that there would be room for one sister if she would agree to be his wife’s helper with the children (how considerate of him). Eva has helped support the sisters with her candy shop, The Sweet Tooth. Their father added the structure to the house when Eva was a young teenager and showed a gift for making confections. Menno considers it a nice hobby, but told Eva that she cannot expect to do it forever (you just want to slap him).Lily is the youngest sister and she has been acting strangely since their mother passed away. The day after Menno announces he is going to move in, Lily is gone. She left a note stating she does not wish to stay Amish. She is going “fancy” and does not wish to be found. The family wants to find her as well as the bishop. They start sending out letters of inquiry to family and friends. Can they find Lily before it is too late?Jeb is an apprentice buggy maker in Berlin, Ohio. He lost his fiancé, Lydiann a year ago. He had been hoping to take over his Uncle Ervin buggy business when he retired, but things have changes since a new apprentice has arrived. The new apprentice, Perry Hostetler is already a member of the church and has plans to marry. Just the type of person Uncle Ervin wants to leave his business to. Jeb had planned to join the church with his fiancé before their wedding. Uncle Ervin is sending Jeb to Pennsylvania to learn how they make their buggies (just for a week) from Jonas Byler. While on the train, Jeb discovers a copy of Little Women. It has notes in the margins about the book (he likes how thoughtful and insightful they are) as well as a photograph. He finds himself intrigued about the woman who wrote the notes (as well as the photo) and wonders if he will meet her. A couple of days later at an auction, Jeb is pleasantly surprised to meet the woman in the photo, Eva Esch.Jeb and Eva get a chance to spend a little time together before he has to go home. But then he shows her the photograph. Will these two be able to overcome a misunderstanding (as well as a lack of communication)? Who will find Lily and will she be willing to come home? You will just have to read The Photograph to find out.I enjoyed reading The Photograph. It is just a lovely book. It is well-written and makes the book so easy to read (the book just flows beautifully which makes it pleasurable to read). I did get frustrated by the lack of communication between people in the book. Speaking plainly would be so much easier than all the misunderstandings (and confusion). I also could not understand how a father could leave his daughters without a home or any provisions in his will (or even making sure that the brother would always give them a home). The brother who inherited can just walk in and toss them out. To me this seems to go against what we hear about the Amish (how they embrace family). Without these things, though, we would not have the book to read! I give The Photograph 4.5 out of 5 stars. I look forward to reading Beverly Lewis’ next book.I received a complimentary copy of The Photograph from NetGalley and won a copy from the publisher through LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review. The review and opinions expressed are strictly my own.

By Deana Marie First and foremost, thank you to Bethany House for the opportunity for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I think I am the worst person to review Beverly Lewis' books because I just think, as one of my automatically to-read authors, she just gets better and better. In my opinion, she can do no wrong. Before my two cents, a quick synopsis:Jed is traveling on a train from Ohio to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania when he finds a book that a passenger left behind. In it, he finds a photograph of an Amish girl which is odd, since usually Old Order Amish frown upon photos being taken.Jed is taken with the girl in the photograph, but more so with the notes that are written inside the margins of the book. He feels a connection to the writer of the notes and, after dealing with a tragedy himself, finds comfort in the words written.The flip side of the story revolves around Eva Esch, who lives in Lancaster County. Eva's younger sister, Lilly has left their homestead for parts unknown. Eva and her other siblings worry that Lilly may forego her Amish roots to become more "worldly." The Esch family has dealt with their own tragedy as well, leaving the reader to wonder what will become of Jed and the Esch family and also how these stories are going to come together.Once again Ms. Lewis does not disappoint.I loved this book. Like I said, Ms. Lewis is one of my automatically read authors, and as I said in another post, her book, The Shunning was the first Amish fiction book that I read, setting me off on a whole different path of books that I now read.I find comfort in Ms. Lewis' books. In a day and age of modern technology and news filled with fear, hate and other things, it is so refreshing to be able to read an innocent, feel good story. It's good for the soul.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Easy read if you enjoy calm and quiet books By Zainey Laney Beverly Lewis has been writing about Amish life for years. This latest book, The Photograph, tells of life as a Pennsylvania Dutch resident without parents.The Photograph by Beverly LewisThis is a particularly quick read, and I ran through it in almost no time during my lunch breaks (cuz that’s how I roll). Fans of women’s fiction, christian fiction, and romance novels will especially like this book.A family of 3 sisters are living on a farm together, their way of life threatened by their older brother who will take over the property since their parents are gone. The youngest runs away to be an “outsider” with her english boyfriend. The middle sister buries herself in her work as a confectioner. The older continues to take care of the house. A handsome stranger comes to town with a photograph, looking for the girl who has won his heart.Overall, I really enjoyed this read as it is not particularly difficult and the story moves quickly. Learning about a simpler way of life is calming and nice.
