About the Author

Beverly Lewis grew up in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. As a young girl, she wrote short stories, poetry and lyrics to piano pieces she had learned. Lewis didn't begin to publish her work until her children were in middle school and she primarily published in publications for children. Her first children's book, Mountain Bikes and Garbanzo Beans, was published in 1993.

Lewis's first foray into adult fiction is the best-selling The Heritage of Lancaster County trilogy about a young Amish woman who is drawn to the modern world, a work that Lewis says is loosely based on her grandmother. Lewis has written over 80 books for children and adults. She is a member of the National League of American Pen Women as well as a Distinguished Alumnus of Evangel University. She and her husband live in Colorado where they enjoy making music and reading.
