Ella: An Amish Retelling of Cinderella Sarah Price

Description:
In Sarah Price’s heartwarming Amish version of this best-loved fairytale, a hardworking, overlooked young woman is rewarded in unexpected ways . . .
“Be kind and have faith.” Ella Troyer strives to abide by her mother’s final words, although life in the small Amish town of Echo Creek isn’t always easy. Her new stepmother, Linda, treats her coldly, and her two stepsisters, Drusilla and Anna, delight in gossip and laziness. After her father’s death, Ella’s stepsisters are free to attend youth singings while Ella stays at home to manage the household chores, rarely seeing another soul. Until one day, while running an errand, she has a chance meeting with a young Amish man from a nearby town.

Drusilla and Anna are full of admiration for charming, affluent newcomer Johannes Wagler, and Linda hopes to ensnare him as a husband for one of her girls—while keeping Ella out of the way. As for Hannes, he longs to catch another glimpse of the mysterious young woman who can sing so sweetly andbake the most delicious pie he’s ever sampled. Now, with a little help from some unlikely sources, Ella dares to hope she might find her heart’s dearest wishes—for love, family, and a home of her own—coming true at last . . .


My thoughts on the book:

Ella Troyer is faced with losing her mom gaining a new family and then losing her dad. She is reminded of her mother's memory to always be kind and nice. As she faces helping her stepmom and siblings with everything, she catches a suitors eye can she do it all or will something have to give?
Every time I get my hands on Sarah’s book I just can’t put it down most nights reading late into the night and this was once again one of those books. I wanted to know what happened. I have read Sarah’s other book Belle and now this one and for whatever reason these books make me feel like I’m coming home. They are so good it makes you feel like your catching up with friends and the author has that way of just reaching through the pages to keep you interested and going from beginning to end. Seriously this book was amazing. I loved everything about it. The author kept it light but also with a lesson to be learned while reading this wonderful story. The author leaves you hungry both physically and spiritually.
