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 ~

Caleb and Drusilla's relationship is questionable at this point in this series. Dru continues to doubt both herself and Caleb. Drusilla's character is rather frustrating due to her lack of confidence in herself and in Caleb's attention toward her. Her doubts at times caused me to be a bit annoyed with her. I love Caleb's character. He's so levelheaded and practical, and is true to his word. 

I felt somewhat sorry that Drusilla had so many responsibilities helping with the farm and taking care of the new baby in the house. Her mother appeared to be suffering with postpartum depression. This is one of the reasons I love Sarah Price's stories. She integrates realism that is believable, and her characters are relatable. Drusilla takes her responsibilities seriously as Caleb's patience with her is commendable.

I'm looking forward to reading An Amish Autumn to see where Drusilla and Caleb are in their relationship.
