Amish Memories Series Finale: By Evening’s Light

Giveaway, New in Books

This giveaway is now closed. The 3 winners have been notified by email! Thank you to all who entered (206!)–I loved reading your emails and comments!

By Evening’s Light, the third and final book in my dual-time Amish Memories series, releases today, August 20th! I’m celebrating with a giveaway of the entire series. Enter-to-win by sending me an authorlesliegould@gmail.com by August 27th. I’ll choose 3 winners and notify them by email!

A little about the series: Have you ever wondered what life was like for Amish and Mennonite families during the World War II era? My Amish Memories series consists of 3 dual-time novels that feature 3 contemporary Mennonite sisters and 3 Mennonite/Amish sisters from the World War II era. Their stories all intersect, revealing secrets from the past–and inspiration–to the Zimmerman sisters of today.

A little about By Evening’s Light: It completes the series, which is bittersweet for me. I’m thrilled to have the last book in my hands—but sad to say goodbye to these dear characters. This is Treva’s story, the youngest of the 3 Zimmerman sisters.

Treva Zimmerman finds herself at a crossroads in life after a heartbreaking failed relationship. Returning to Lancaster County to visit her Amish grandparents and elderly aunt, Treva plans to leave her Plain heritage behind for a fresh start in Alaska. Torn between the expectations of her community and her own desires, she seeks to follow her own path–but all that changes when her aunt Rosene suffers a heart attack. 

As her aunt recounts her own past–a poignant journey through Cold War Germany and a fervent desire to escape her Plain life to search for a lost love–Treva is determined to discover the whereabouts of Rosene’s former sweetheart. Amid the turmoil, their former farmhand Gabe Johnson returns unexpectedly, throwing Treva’s plans into further disarray.

While working hard to save the farm and explore her own destiny, Treva confronts her deep-rooted ties to her heritage and must decide if she will embrace her family’s legacy or break free from the pressures of her past to forge a life of her own.
