Reading a Beverly Lewis book is like being welcomed back home with open arms from all of your loved ones. Her writing is simple but beautiful.

She depicts the Amish and Mennonite community in a very favorable light, but she also shows us that they too, are human and have their flaws. She makes me savor those times in my life when I actually slow down and listen to the world around me. This morning I was sitting on my back steps, reading a book, and just enjoying the sun on my face. While doing that I closed my eyes and really tried to concentrate on the sounds around me. Did you know that there must be hundreds of different bird tweets? That is what reading one of her books will do for you...make you stop, listen, and savor the sweet, simple things in life. Of all of her books, this one is my favorite to date. I love that the story this time around is centered around the mother, Grace and her secret that she's hiding from her family. Having a secret in an Amish community is so much different than in the English world, believe me. Do we have to worry about being shunned? Nope. For the first time ever, I actually feel compassion for the father figure in the Amish family. In the past I've always felt that they were too controlling, and too rigid, but I feel Lewis has concentrated on showing us that Amish men can be vulnerable and can love with all of their hearts. If you haven't read a Beverly Lewis book because you think they may be preachy or such, please disregard that and just try one. Try this book and read it with an open heart and mind. I'm sure if you do, you'll be back for the second and third. And not only that, you too may find yourself closing your eyes and savoring all the beauty that our world has to offer.

Before I sign off I want to leave you with a passage that made me feel such empathy for Judah, the husband.

Judah stood at the footboard and stared at Lettie's side of the bed, his eyes lingering on her pillow. How long had it been since they'd held each other? Turning, he reached for the Good Book, bearing its weight to his chair near the bureau. He sat with a groan. Opening to the Proverbs, he read: "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."

While I did expect the story to be void of any adventure, per se, I didn't expect the story to be bland. [return]I could not relate to the character of Lettie, the mother, when she chose to leave her family behind to root around in her past and reveal her secret.

Ya I Verhoodled! I have read several Beverly Lewis books and I was left completely confused with this novel at times. It contained too many plot lines with no ending. Seasons of Grace Book 1 begins with Lettie, who is very unhappy and is keeping a secret from her husband. Her unhappiness continues to affect the family until one day she just up and leaves without telling anyone why or even bye for that matter. She arranges a ride with the local paid driver who is later accused to having an affair with the passenger he just gave a ride to. It was at this point I wondered why the driver didn’t take her to a psychiatrist's office for a course of Prozac. Let’s face it, everyone in town knew she was fighting depression. Next, we have our Englischer Heather who has this mystery illness that her mother also had and died from. At this point I was rather piqued. After all, why does the author not tell us what is wrong with Heather? Why be so surreptitious! Then there is Grace (Lettie’s daughter) who doubts her decision to marry Henry. She makes her decision after receiving a handmade wooden clock. Yes, we all know by now that this clock is the main theme the author uses to represent time. Time to make decisions, deal with our past, and what to do with the little bit that we have left on earth.
I found this book almost predictable. What will happen when the series finishes, making it not so secretive? Furthermore, I found it odd that Judah would seem so disconnected from his wife and that he doesn’t even really attempt to go find Lettie. Also, when he is in the bank and is told that she had taken five thousand dollars, not even a reaction. Not really a plausible portrayal of an Amish leader or head of household. I did actually feel compassion for Judah and his Amish family. In the past I've always felt that the Amish husbands were characterized as too controlling, and too rigid, but I feel Lewis has concentrated on showing us that Amish men can be vulnerable and can love with all of their hearts. This is the first that I have seen this in her writings and so it left me a bit confused and I wasn’t ready for the author to pull a 360 on me like this.
Mrs. Lewis’s books will refer to events, people and locales from previous books, without making it mandatory that you read them all in chronological order. This is my favorite part! I love hearing or catching up with past favorite characters from other series. Subsequently, there are several references to family members or story plots that happened before, but you're not required to read one of her other books to fully enjoy one you've purchased. My favorite part of the book was the wisdom given by Mammi Adah. The best line was Mammi Adah’s statements: "When you get what you want....do you want what you get?" or “Yeah, they worked all right, Like killing a fly on the wall with a shotgun.” I thoroughly enjoyed this book but it was not as high quality as The Shunning or The Abrams Daughters Series. Yet still the book “'Tis mighty gut."

One day, Grace wakes up and her mother is gone. This type of thing is unusual among Amish communities, and Grace doesn't know how to deal with her mother's disappearance or the gossiping neighbors.

I don't really understand why this book was written, but I kept reading it, hoping that something interesting might eventually happen. Throughout the entire book, I felt like I was waiting for the actual story to begin. This book is boring, boring, boring! The first half of the book beats you over the head with the depression of Grace's mother. Something is wrong with her, that is plain to see, but no one knows what and instead of talking about her feelings (because that would be too easy I guess), she decides to leave town (possible forever, but who knows for sure?). The second half of the book insists on telling you over and over that her leaving is unnatural for an Amish woman and that Grace's family doesn't know how to cope. If only they knew where she went, they could bring her back. Blah, blah, blah.

I was very disappointed to reach the end of the book with absolutely nothing resolved, only to discover that I'd need to read the next book, or two, of the series to get any resolution. Without reading the second book (and I don't plan to as this one was a complete letdown), this book just struck me as highly unnecessary. Almost 300 pages to tell me the same messages over and over again. The most interesting part of the story was a subplot that was introduced maybe a third of the way through the book -- Heather is possibly dying so she escapes to Amish country for some peace and 'natural' healing. I wanted to see more of that and less of Grace and her family as none of the characters are overly sympathetic. But Heather's chapters were few and far between, leading me to wonder why the author even bothered. They didn't seem to mesh with the rest of the book, even once Heather finally reaches Lancaster County -- the book is nearly over by this point, so again, why bother?(less)

To call this book artless would be both the kindest and the truest thing you could say about it. The author doesn't seem to understand that merely withholding information is not enough to create interest or intrigue. It would be like me inviting you to dinner next week and refusing to say what we're going to eat, and making a big deal out of the mystery, and then it turns out to be pizza. Ho hum. The transitions from one thought to the next were jagged and unnatural. As for the dialogue, I can't...more

It had a good plotline, but there were some things I just didn't like.

Grace Byler is a young Amish woman whose family is your typical Amish family. Or at least so she thought. Her mother has been acting strangely lately, her father is as quiet and stern as ever, and she is too busy being courted to really be concerned. But then, her mother goes missing in the middle of the night and the family is turned upside down. Grace sets out to try to figure out where her mother is gone, but everyone seems pretty close-lipped about it. Meanwhile, in a shorter side story, Heather is a young modern woman who has just found out she has cancer. With her mother having died from cancer a little over a year previously, she is scared and turns down the thought of modern medicine. Instead, she packs up for the summer and decides to live the simple life with the Amish and try to recover naturally.

I liked Heather the best of all the characters. Maybe its because I could connect better with her being modern. She had the most interesting story as well. Grace was nice, but a little too perfect. Of course she made up for her flighty mother and her stern seemingly unloving father. The other characters were good, and had distinct personalities.

The writing was nice. Obviously suspenseful as it was somewhat a mystery type of book. But it didn't feel complete. I know its part of a series (although I'm not sure what the next book is) but it didn't have any resolution what so ever. Honestly, this kind of annoyed me as there is no way you could read just this book if you want to know anything that's going to happen. She cut it off in a bad stopping point too which just furthered this feeling. Stepping aside from that, this book does have religious overtones because it is a book about the Amish. It is not very preachy though and more serves to show how the Amish live their lives.

I'll probably read the next one just because I want to find out what happens. It is certainly an interesting story and probably well worth finishing.

Let me start out by saying that this is book #1 in this new series, and it is definitely the start of something good (but only the start). Here we have some amazing storylines that start to intersect as we go along... Grace is from a nice Amish family, living a nice Amish life when weird things start happening. Mom can't sleep at night and wanders around outside, Dad doesn't want to discuss it, Grandma seems to know more than she is letting on... but not enough. Then one night Grace's world is t...more

Beverly Lewis writes dramatic Amish fiction. Her books aren't about young Amish people courting and falling in love. There is always some drama with the church or with the family that will take 3 books to resolve.

In this book the drama surrounds Gracie Byler's mom, who leaves her husband and children behind. This is something that is simply not done in the Amish community. Lewis lets us see a little of Lettie's struggle within herself without giving away her secret. It is easy to feel sorry for...more

Wife and mother Lettie Byler is becoming more secretive and wanders off alone at night, weeping at unknown sorrows. The day before she runs away, she warns her daughter Grace to think twice before she marries, not to marry a reticent man, because it leads to unhappiness.

This book chronicles the lives of the Byler family. In this book, as the title suggests, we find out that one of the characters has a foreboding secret. I am usually a big fan of Lewis, however for some reason I am not very drawn to this series. I feel that Lettie Byler's story is too much like Sadie's from the Abram's Daughters' series. The story seems to jump a lot from Grace's view to that of an English girl who - in my opinion - was introduced entirely too early, as it is very obvious what her part of the tale is. Overall, it was very predictable and the characters just aren't as captivating as Abram's Daughters. I feel conflicted giving this story only 4 stars since it is well written... However I can't help but feel that the story is a bit predictable and unoriginal.

A quick summary -- The story starts with Lettie Byler's peculiar behavior stemming from depression that her husband fails to understand. Grace is the oldest daughter of Judah & Lettie and is somewhat oblivious to the carrying-on of her family, as she's being courted and is close to accepting a marriage proposal. However, when her mother warns her of marrying a quiet and awkward man, Grace begins to question if her mother is unhappy with her marriage. In turn, Grace questions if she is ready to take the plunge.

Lettie's depression continues to spiral and though she tries to let her husband in on her secret, she just can't seem to get the words out. All of this culminates in one big "Wow, really? Did that really just happen?" moment, and from that point on the Byler's lives are thrown for a loop.

We see views shift from the Byler's family to Heather's, the English girl I mentioned before. Heather's mother passed away in recent years and she herself has been diagnosed with cancer. Eager to get away, she books a trip to Lancaster, PA and finds herself staying in an Amish Bed and Breakfast. She wishes to explore natural methods to curing her cancer, as well as mend her broken heart and spirit in the wake of a dire diagnosis and a bitter breakup. As I said earlier, I'm almost certain I've figured out her part in the story as her presence makes no other sense otherwise.

Despite my reservations about how similar the story is to another series, I'm still looking forward to finishing the series and seeing if my predictions are true or if there is some big mystery I didn't foresee!

The pace of this story is frustratingly slow and pedantic most of the time, with even the most trivial thoughts and musings of the characters on display for pages at a time.
