Beverly Lewis
Book-Signing
Beverly Lewis fans are in for a wonderful treat! You can meet
Beverly herself on Saturday April 2nd at 10:00 a.m. at Bread of Life
Bookstore in Greenville (107 W. Main). Bread of Life and the
Greenville Public Library are pleased to co-sponsor this very special
book-signing. Bring your own books or purchase them that
day. Bread of Life has a great selection of Beverly’s titles
which are on sale through April 2nd at 20% off.
Beverly Lewis is an award-winning author who has written over 80 books
for children, youth, and adults. She was born in the heart of Amish
country, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and began writing as a small
child. Later in life when her own children were in school she
began publishing stories and books for children.
Her first venture into adult fiction is the best-selling trilogy, The
Heritage of Lancaster County, including The Shunning, a suspenseful
saga of Katie Lapp who is loosely based on the author's maternal
grandmother Ada Ranck Buchwalter who left her Old Order Mennonite
upbringing to marry a Bible College student. One Amish-country
newspaper claimed Beverly's work to be "a primer on Lancaster County
folklore" and offers "an insider's view of Amish life."
Fans describe how her books "touch a nerve, creating a curiosity about
the Old Ways of the Amish... a yearning for a simpler life and return
to traditional values in the mainstream society, where an impersonal,
high-tech lifestyle reigns paramount." Beverly is a member of the
National League of American Pen Women, as well as a Distinguished
Alumnus of Evangel University, and with her husband David makes her
home in Colorado
Bread of Life owner Julie Strait said “Bread of Life has been in
business for over 28 years and came under new ownership in 2013. We are
pleased to continue the legacy that has been laid out for us and desire
above all to be an integral part of our community as we truly share the
best things in life.” Please join us for this special event.
Refreshments will be served.
