Beverly Lewis

Beverly Lewis is a well-known American author, particularly recognized for her Christian fiction and children's books. Born and raised in Pennsylvania Amish country, Lewis has drawn on her heritage to create captivating stories that resonate with readers. Prior to becoming an author, she worked as a schoolteacher and musician, which has contributed to her skill in storytelling and understanding of her audience.

Lewis has established herself as a prominent figure in the world of Christian fiction, with over eighty books attributed to her authorship. Her work has been celebrated by readers and critics alike, earning her a spot as a finalist in the romance category of the 2006 Quill Book Awards. Many of her books have appeared on bestseller lists, including USA Today and The New York Times.

In addition to her success in Christian fiction, Lewis has also written children's stories, which have been well-received by young readers. Her first book, "Holly's First Love," was published in 1993, and she has since written numerous series for pre-teen and young readers. Despite her success in children's literature, it was the story of her grandmother's shunning by her ultra-strict father and the Old Order Mennonite community that inspired her to write adult fiction.

Lewis's passion for Amish-related stories has kept her up at night, leading her to write over three dozen novels for adults set in Lancaster County. When she's not writing, she enjoys spending time with her husband, hiking in the Rocky Mountains, cooking from scratch, playing Mozart at the piano, and making family memory albums. She also enjoys reading biographies, memoirs, and classic literature. Lewis is a member of the Assemblies of God community and the National League of American Pen Women.
