Review of Annie's Truth  by Beth Shriver In book one of the Amish romance series, Touch of Grace, Annie must leave the security of her family and community to find her true identity when she discovers she was adopted as a newborn and raised by her Amish parents. MY REVIEW:  I read the series backwards....lol.....I received a copy of Grace Given  previously and read it and reviewed it.  I loved both books.  I rather enjoyed reading it this way as it answered many questions that I formed as I read book 2.   I felt really badly for Annie though.  It seemed that her family was very hard on her for wanting to find her birth mother after she discovered that she was found in a field by her Amish faither as a newborn.   I would think that it would be natural for Annie to have questions about her birth and to want to find her own answers.  I suppose it is the Amish way and that would be one of the things I have trouble over in...

Unable to let go of her sadness, she withdraws from her friends and family, nursing her feelings of betrayal.   Gideon Lapp has held a special place in his heart for Elsie and longs to help her get through her troubles. Together they find comfort in their study of the  Martyr’s Mirror , a centuries-old book that describes their ancestors’ sacrifices for their faith through years of persecution.  As Elsie opens up and begins to put her trust in Gideon, she tells him about the harassment she and her sister received at the hands of some local men. When the men return and threaten the community, Elsie and Gideon must stand together to do what is right. But can Elsie learn to give grace and to humble herself to accept grace as well?
