Item description for The Forbidden (Courtship Of Nellie Fisher V2) by Beverly Lewis...
Overview
Longing to marry Caleb Yoder even though Caleb's father has forbidden him to court her, Nellie Fisher struggles with her feelings as she continues to cope with the death of her sister, Suzy.
From Publishers Weekly
Book two of Lewis's series is exactly the kind of predictable Amish novel her readers have come to expect: multiple character plot lines, romantic entanglements, tension within the religious community, and at least one tragedy. Here, Lewis continues the saga of Nellie Mae Fisher, whose Amish family embraces a "New Order" personal faith that defies the "Old Order" beliefs they've always held dear. Nellie hopes to marry Caleb Yoder, but because of her family's change of belief, Caleb's father forbids him to marry Nellie on pain of losing his inheritance. Lewis capably portrays the struggle Nellie feels between the attraction of her family's faith and the yearnings of her heart. Other plot threads continue: Nellie's sister Rhoda is drawn into the modern world and its promise of convenience, excitement and automobiles, while a couple who have been given a set of twins to raise discover that their burgeoning interest in the New Order faith causes the birth mother to have second thoughts about their fitness as adoptive parents. Lewis's readers seemingly can't get enough of her tales about Amish life, and this latest installment won't disappoint. (May) Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information. |

 | Great Product Mar 3, 2010 |
| I really can't comment on this book since I haven't had the chance to read it as of yet, but I do like Beverly Lewis books. The order process was easy and fast and the item arrived quickly. this site is a great place to shop! | | |  | Gift for a Prison Aug 14, 2009 |
| This book was sent as a gift to a women's correctional center. The libraries in prisons are usually abysmal, and MANY inmates long for decent reading. Rehabilitation is furthered when inmates improve their minds. You can send books to prisons if they're mailed directly from a publisher or book store. I recommend it!! | | | | Great Series of Stories Apr 19, 2009 |
| I really enjoyed reading this set of books. You never know what is going to happen next! | | | | -- Apr 18, 2009 |
Nellie Mae Fisher and her love, Caleb Yoder, are separated by a church split. Caleb's father is not allowing Caleb to see Nellie Mae anymore since her father has left the Old Order Amish Church and started attending a New Order one. Nellie Mae assures Caleb she intends to stay Old Order, but she can't deny the pull she has toward the New Order church her parents attend.
Caleb can risk everything if he disobeys his father and continues seeing Nellie Mae. Nellie is worth it to Caleb, but he doesn't know how he can support a family if his father takes his inheritance away. He promises Nellie Mae that he will find a way for them to be together, but it is getting more difficult. How can Caleb and Nellie remain true to each other, yet satisfy the expectations of the People?
THE FORBIDDEN is the second book in The Courtship of Nellie Fisher series, and readers will want to read these books in order, starting with The Parting. The final book in the series will be available in September 2008.
I love this series, and enjoyed reconnecting with Caleb, Nellie Mae, and the other characters. It has been a while since I read The Parting so it took me a few pages to remember what happened with Nellie and Caleb so I could get back into the story. The secondary story involving Roseanna and her cousin Kate, took me a little longer to remember. But once I could recall the previous story line, I thoroughly enjoyed THE FORBIDDEN.
Ms. Lewis is a wonderful storyteller, and her writing just keeps getting better. I couldn't wait to read this book, and now that it's finished I'm disappointed as it will still be several months before I can read the next book in the series. The faith message is an important part of this story, and the struggle between two different cultures. Beverly Lewis is one of my favorite authors, her stories as detailed as some of the Amish quilts I've seen. You'll not want to miss THE FORBIDDEN or any of the books in this series.

| This is book 2 in the series: The Courting of Nellie Mae Fisher. This books picks up where book 1 left off. We are learning about the divide that is happening in Nellie's Amish community due to some people beginning to study the bible and becoming saved. Then there are the other Amish who cling to the "old ways" and do not want to hear anything whatsoever about the New Order that has changed the lives of so many Amish in the community. Then there are some who seem to be only concerned with "fancy" things like cars, telephones, electricity, and tractors. Even those in the New Order do not wish to have these things--they only wish to study the bible and be saved. Meanwhile, Nellie Mae is torn between following the New Order (where some important people in her life head toward) and the Old Ways (where some other important people in her life want to stay--don't want to give too much away). There is also the continuation of the side plot with Nellie's dear friend, Rosanna, who longs to be a mother and has suffered multiple miscarriages. You won't believe how that story unfolds! This book definitely is a page-turner. It kept me up till 4 a.m. this morning to find out what would happen! I immediately started book 3 and read till I couldn't keep my eyes open. That review to follow as soon as I finish that book! If you read book 1, The Parting, read this one. It is even better! | | | Write your own review about The Forbidden (Courtship Of Nellie Fisher V2)
