The Reckoning By Beverly Lewis (The Heritage of Lancaster County Book 3 of 3)

**This is the conclusion to The Heritage of Lancaster County Series. If you haven't read the first two books, The Shunning and The Confession, you may not want to read this review**

We have followed Katie Lapp, now known as Katherine Mayfield, through her unbelievable journey. We followed her as she left her Amish community to find her biological mother. We also followed her as she found her biological mother and had her taken away so quickly due to a rapid illness.

Her story continues as she becomes head of the Mayfield Manor. She may have left the Amish community but you can't take the Amish out of her. Katherine decides to volunteer at hospice all the while her relationship with the artist continues to flourish. What she didn't expect was for her dead first love to come knocking on her door opening up a door full of heartache and love. What will happen to her relationship with the artist? Will Katherine re-connect with the man she loved who she thought was dead? To find out, read The Reckoning.

I really liked this book, however I thought that it did drag on some. I had a feeling that Katherine and Dan would re-connect, I just didn't think it would be drawn out until the final pages of the book. Overall, I thought the series was a must read if you enjoy Amish fiction. Please make sure to read the series in order starting with The Shunning, The Confession, & finally The Reckoning. It is important to read these in order because each book leads into the next and I promise you don't want to miss a thing!

I rate this book 4/5
