Sarah Price self-published her first book, Fields of Corn, in 2009, a book she wrote thirty years earlier while studying anthropology and writing at Drew University (Madison, NJ). With her Anabaptist upbringing, she was drawn to the amazing culture of the Amish of Lancaster County where Ms. Price is heavily involved with numerous Amish communities where she is considered family by some and friend by most others. Fields of Corn became an Amazon bestseller and fans began asking her for more books.  

In 2013, she signed with Realms, a division of Charisma House, to publish the Amish Classics series. Initially focusing on the retelling of Jane Austen's timeless classics from within an Amish setting, her first traditionally published book, First Impressions, A Retelling of Pride & Prejudice, debuted on the ECPA bestseller list. She intends to continue retelling classics, including the Bronte sisters and Victor Hugo, as she enjoys "raising the bar" on her own intellectual stimulation as well as that of her expansive base of loyal readers. 

In 2014, she signed with Waterfall Press and published An Amish Buggy Ride which became the #1 bestseller in Religious Romance. 

In 2015, she also began writing Young Adult fiction with her first book, Diehard Fangirl launching on April 17, 2015. Her focus is on helping young teenagers with self-esteem issues as well as educating parents about the good and the bad impact of social media on their daughters

My Review:

 "An Amish Spring "(Amish Seasons Book 1) by Sarah Price  the first short story (only 72 pages ) in the 4 books of the (Amish Season). 

It is about Drusilla Riehl in the four seasons of the year. In this book she helps her mother, who is pregnant, take care of her other siblings and meet a young man while she is at a barn raising.

What is it about Caleb that makes Drusilla feel embrassed every time she is around him?

I read this story in one hour and didnt want to close it because I wanted to read more about Drusilla and Caleb.

This book is wonderful to read at this time as we are waiting for the rebirth of flowers and green grass and the wonderful smell of Spring that is just around the corner in our own English world because winter is just ending.

I am anxiously waiting for emails and Facebook posts for the next story in this series! Yes the ending was a cliff hanger but only because the reader knows that there are more coming, if we didn't know that there are more stories coming, the ending would be a good ending! Have I peaked your interest? If so I have accomplished my goal! Hope you read and enjoy this book as much as I did!

I received a PDF copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
