The Diary - The Complete Series: Plain Living; Plain Trouble; Plain Love - A Lines from Lancaster County Saga
THE COMPLETE DIARY SERIES BY RACHEL BAUER Plain Living - Nineteen-year-old Sadie Zook works in her father's furniture store in their home town of Ephrata, PA. Witty, devout, and supremely competent, Sadie is keeping a secret. Sadie occupies the little spare time she can find with her secret passion -- writing and illustrating her simple and insightful stories about her life in pastoral Lancaster County. While Sadie's writing is mostly thoughtful and even devotional, Sadie's wit shows in some of her tales from her father's store -- sharp delineations of "Englisher" customers whose ignorance of those who choose to live plain lives reveals Sadie's keen talent for description, dialogue, and character development. When twenty-one-year-old Abram Byler discovers Sadie's secret stash of writing, he conceals it, reads it, and is initially horrified and chastises Sadie. As he continues to read, though, he discovers that beneath the clever wit, there is a sweet, nurturing soul revealed in the tender depictions of Sadie's youngest sisters learning to churn butter. As Abram and Sadie become closer, Abram realizes that sometimes humility means using the talents God bestows. Plain Trouble - Sadie Zook and Abram Byler have begun a tentative and sweet new relationship. They write to each other in a secret journal, and they take walks after church services. Sadie's humble, yet observant nature makes Abram think about his life and his faith differently, yet they are always true to the Plain lifestyle. Everything is going well, but Abram's mother, Ruth, is not pleased. Ruth Byler believes that Sadie is worldly and wicked, and Ruth will stop at nothing to tear Abram and Sadie apart. Will Abram and Sadie's new relationship be able to withstand Ruth's attacks? Will Abram's new perspective affect his relationship with his parents? Will Ruth be forced to reveal the secrets she has kept for so many years? Will a sign from God change everything? Plain Love - Amish teens Sadie Zook and Abram Byler had just begun a tentative relationship when Abram's parents forced him to end it. Now they continue to work side by side as virtual strangers, silently regretting the companionship they've lost. In this final book, discover if Sadie and Abram can go on to find happiness alone or if God has other plans. Learn about the power of forgiveness and the importance of being open to the wonderful things that God has in store.....even when it seems that all hope is lost. Follow the saga of Sadie and Abram to its surprising conclusion, and delight in finding love and faith in God where you least expect them. Genre: Amish Christian Romance. A Sweet/Inspirational Story.
