 Reviews

The Mary Book Reader
I loved this book from page one. It is a 5 star book and one not to be missed. I can’t wait for book two, Starting from Scratch.

Savings in Seconds
I loved how Kate Lloyd reached down into the characters’ pasts to show how much it defines the present.
…

What I appreciated most about A Letter from Lancaster County was that it didn’t fall in the traditional patterns of an Amish fiction novel. There was an interesting contrast between the English and Mennonite worlds that stretched the reader to accept both. For that reason, I think it would appeal to readers across most women’s fiction genres.

A Simple Life, really?!
Great story and great characters, too!

Maureen’s Musings
I personally loved the epilogue, what a great conclusion to this book..

This Chattanooga Mommy Saves
This is my first read from Lloyd, but I was not disappointed at all! This was an amazing read full of  well developed, relatable characters and an amazing story that’s heartfelt. It’s one of those books that keeps you up at night because you just have to know what happens next. I found myself flipping through the pages at a steady pace. It’s definitely a book that I’d want to read again. I can’t wait to see what book 2 has in store for us!

This story was hard to put down. I also felt that I was close to the sisters while reading. There was just something about Kate’s writing that made me feel close to them. It was great. I loved her writing for this story. A fun faced paced story that I really enjoyed and can’t wait to get into another book by Kate.

Lighthouse Academy
Fans of Kate Lloyd will adore this new women’s fiction. Dynamic protagonists and increasingly tense narrative sets the scene for a heart-wrenching and engaging story.

Cheryl Baranski
Kate Lloyd has written a story that will have you turning page after page so you can see what happens next. Characters and a story line that you will surely love.

Inklings and Notions
An excellent story on family dynamics and learning to move past family issues. I like that this book is a bit different from your normal Amish fiction.

Patti Gallagher, Librarian, Growth Garden Library
This book was quite a surprise to me. I assumed it would be an Amish/Mennonite romance but it was a well crafted tale of two sisters and their estranged aunt. Loved the depth of each character as well as the vividly descriptive portrait of Lancaster County.

Kelsey Perkins, CBA Christian Market Magazine
Lloyd does a wonderful job displaying family dynamics, both with Angela and her sister, as well as Angela and her husband, and the girls and their aunt.  It is a great read.
