The Crossroad

by Beverly Lewis Narrated by Barbara Caruso

Overview

Best-selling, award-winning author Beverly Lewis pens inspiring novels filled with hope, courage, and compelling truths. In this engaging tale, she reveals the warmth, uncomplicated lifestyle-and sometimes dark side-of the Amish people of Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. Journalist Philip Bradley can't forget Rachel Yoder, the blind Amish woman he met while on assignment in Pennsylvania. He is determined to find a cure for her and to get to know her better. But before Rachel can move on in her life, she must first confront traumatic memories. Can their growing love survive the vast gulf between their different worlds and Rachel's agonizing road to recovery? A gifted storyteller, Beverly Lewis draws on her childhood in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country and her mother's Amish family heritage to create realistic situations. Narrator Barbara Caruso vividly brings to life Rachel's setbacks and victories as the young woman struggles to move from the darkness into the light.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

In the sequel to The Postcard, hysterically blind Rachel Yoder lives quietly in her Amish community in Lancaster County, PA, with her parents and her daughter. As her faith grows, her contempt for the local "powwow" doctor increases, and she refuses to be treated by him. Meanwhile, in New York City, writer Philip Bradley can't get Rachel out of his mind. His investigation into hysterical blindness and his newfound sense of peace in the Lord takes him back to Rachel to find out once and for all if they have a chance. For all collections.

Beverly Lewis weaves a story of the Plain People with beautiful shades of devout faithfulness and enduring family values, yet reveals darker underlying threads of intolerance, superstition and divination. A bittersweet novel readers will come back to again and again.
