Biography

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 and An Empty Cup, both of which hit the Amazon Top 100 and were #1 bestsellers in Religious Romance.

My Thoughts ~

Drusilla continues to be the responsible one in her family, taking on tasks that her mother is unable to carry out due to postpartum depression. Drusilla is still a worrier in this story, but I've grown to love her. She represents patience and compassion for those she cares for, and is willing to put her life on hold for her family. Thus far, this is my favorite in this series of Amish seasons. No spoilers, but the attention to detail regarding Amish traditions is commendable on the author's part! 

Drusilla and Caleb's relationship has further developed, and plans for a future together have been discussed. Difficult times and troubles loom, but Drusilla's sweet nature and her faith in God are a balm to her family. She and Caleb's mutual attraction is strong and tender which evokes memories of courting. I highly recommend this series, and this novella in particular struck a sweet chord with me!
