MY THOUGHTS.....
This author has a reputation for writing captivating Amish books but I believe that Barbara's Amish Truth Exposed may be her best yet! I was totally fascinated by this thought-provoking story that's filled with intriguing characters, untold secrets, and some heavy topics that you don't normally see in Amish fiction. Alcoholism, physical abuse, and marital infidelity are mentioned in a story that reminds us that Amish people aren't immune from pain and heartache. Author Tracy Fredrychowski doesn't sugarcoat these topics but she does remind us that all of these are forgivable acts.
This story has many deceptions that need to be revealed, numerous secrets needing to be unveiled, and multiple hurts that need healing, but it is still a tale that encourages and inspires. Fredrychowski shares many biblical truths in her engrossing book of hope, faith, and redemption. I highly recommend Barbara's Amish Truth Exposed!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tracy Fredrychowski is a country girl, author, homesteader and everything simple living. She has a passion for writing about the simpler side of life, much like the life she lived growing up in rural Pennsylvania.
Her life has always been intertwined with the Amish, and it’s only fitting that she has a genuine passion for their simplicity, sense of community and God-centered lives.
Growing up in Northwest Pennsylvania she spent her childhood immersed deep in Amish Country. The clip-clop of horse and buggy woke her each morning as Amish men drove past her childhood home on their way to work. As a young woman, she was traumatized by an Amish murder that involved a family member and changed her life forever.
Even though she currently lives in South Carolina her travels take her through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin’s Amish Country every year. During those stops, she researches the communities she visits and prides herself on writing Amish fiction that truly represents the Amish culture. She considers herself very fortunate to have made friends in those communities and values the information they share and wants nothing more than to represent their lifestyle as accurately as possible.
