Barbara's Amish Truth Exposed by Tracyredrychowski is a touching Amish tale. There are a variety of characters in the story. I liked some of them and others I did not (which was the point). I felt for Barbara and her sister, Susan. Neither one had a pleasant childhood. Their father is a controlling, mean spirited man who did his best to make his family members lives miserable. I thought the characters were realistic and developed. As the story progressed, secrets and deceits are revealed. I was able to anticipate a couple of them, but others were unexpected. In this story, we can see how sin and deception can invade any family and community. We get to see how the characters deal with their past hurts. With love, understanding, forgiveness, and faith, a person can move forward to have a fulfilling life. Barbara's Amish Truth Exposed is the fourth novel in The Women of Lawrence County series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I have enjoyed reading each book in this heartfelt series. Faith and forgiveness are at the forefront of the story. I appreciated the scripture references. Barbara's Amish Truth Exposed is an expressive tale with a worried widow, a lost love, a selling savvy sister, distressing reminisces, shameful secrets, and finding forgiveness.
