The Tinderbox

Oh wow wow!! Another blockbuster book for Beverly Lewis!! Oh my!!Lots of action a d surprises in this Amish book! Not your normal Amish book for sure!!This is why I love Beverly Lewis!!The only thing I have to say is never open Pandora's box even if curiosity kills a cat!! And though there are lessons to be learned in this book!!I'm happy to see Ella Mae is still a part of Hickory Holllow!! I just loved her and her wise ways!! I hope when I get her age I will have gained some wisdom from life's experiences.There's one thing I can't stand is a bossy man!! Even if his mother is involved. My husband tried that on me and it didn't work. Now, most of the time we work together as a team as long as his mom isn't involved!I truly loved this story and I would strongly recommend this book!!I received a complimentary copy with no compensations received. All opinions are my own!!

Just finished reading The Tinder Box and wish we didn't have to wait for the sequel to come out. September seems pretty far away. This book was particularly good - focuses not only on Sylvian and her beau - but also gives much time to Sylvia's father and mother and the effects of the truth on their relationship and how they struggle through everything the truth stirs up. And what a twist at the end! I was really glad that Mrs. Lewis gave much time to Sylvia's father and mother and focused on their relationship and troubles and working through their problems. Can't wait til September!

I am so annoyed right now! Nowhere does it say this is Book 1 of a series. I would never have bought it otherwise because, with our currency exchange rate, i cannot afford to buy the next book. So now I won't know what hapoens as this story is not finished! For me that is a waste of money. I have enjoyed this author's books in the past and this is the first time I've encountered this problem, but it is a low blow to not even warn folk that the story comprises two books. So disappointed.

I was a little disappointed with the first half of this book. I found it irritating that the characters would not confront each other with the truth and come clean, so to speak. Maybe I'm just the kind of person who wants to get the pain over with quickly and move on, but the whole premise seemed unrelatable. I was won over in the second half though.

Beverly has given us another wonderful story from Lancaster County, a place I visit often.It begins with the Miller family and tells of their busy and happy life. As the story moves along there are many twists and turns that lead to the father, Earnest, confessing to a sin from his past. His revelation almost breaks his family apart. As they work to rebuild their family unit, another shocking event tests their faith even further. I eagerly await the sequel to be released in September, 2019.

I was looking forward to reading this novel, had I known it was a two book story I might have waited to order it.The book was well written and the characters interesting. I enjoyed reading it from the first paragraph. Then again of all the other authors who write Amish novels, Beverly Lewis's is the best writer. Her stories seem more detailed.

When curiosity gets the best of you and Pandora's Box is unleashed, how do one and all deal with it? Will true love bind or unravel? Will young lives be able to deal with personal, family and religious repercussions? To me, I read of faith, hope and charity in Beverly Lewis' words. The ending is such a great lead into the next book in this series!

I enjoy reading Amish fiction but for the most part, they all seem to be the same. The same basic storyline, the same basic settings, the same basic characters. However, The Tinderbox steps away somewhat from the “same basic storyline” that a majority of Amish fiction falls prey to, making it an enjoyable read that isn’t completely predictable.

A very interesting read which incorporated the style and rules of being Amish, and the difficulties of a 'plain' person being accepted into the Amish way of life. Also highlighted the difficulty for an Amish person to accept the Christian commitment of a friend who was not Amish. Like Beverly Lewis Novels - a good read.

Really enjoyed this one especially when an old secret comes outI am looking forward to reading the 2nd & last in this to find out what happens with Sylvia & her family

As always, Beverly Lewis writes a heart warming tale of love between family members and the Amish community. Her stories always make me wish I could be right there along side of everyone. I look forward to the upcoming story.You are one of my all time favorite writers..

A little slow to start but once you get into it, you cant stay away. A good page turner with drama, romance and really life struggles

Great
