The Covent by Beverly Lewis that was published in 2002 is a wonderful book. It tells about how a girl and her three sisters live in an Amish community in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. There are secrets in the family that have been hidden for 16 long years. Leah and Sadie Ebersol are two of the sisters that are main character. Sadie keeps sneaking out at night and Leah doesn’t find that strange because Amish courting is done at night and in secret. But is Sadie sneaking out to see a young Amish boy or are her and her best friend, Naomi sneaking out to see English boys? When Sadie finds herself in a very bad situation will her dear sister Leah and their Aunt Lizzie help her, or will they let her fend for herself? Is her sin bad enough to be shunned for or will the church forgive her? Or does she even want to be forgiven? Read the book and find out for yourself.
I like everything about this book. It had great characters and a great plot. There is a little suspense in some parts of the book and other parts make you cry. There is also romance in the air all through the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance and forbidden love.
