Beverly Lewis is an award-winning author who has written over 80 books for children, youth, and adults. She was born in the heart of Amish country, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and began writing as a small child. Later in life when her own children were in school she began publishing stories and books for children.
Her first venture into adult fiction is the best-selling trilogy, The Heritage of Lancaster County, including The Shunning, a suspenseful saga of Katie Lapp who is loosely based on the author's maternal grandmother Ada Ranck Buchwalter who left her Old Order Mennonite upbringing to marry a Bible College student. One Amish-country newspaper claimed Beverly's work to be "a primer on Lancaster County folklore" and offers "an insider's view of Amish life."
Fans describe how her books "touch a nerve, creating a curiosity about the Old Ways of the Amish... a yearning for a simpler life and return to traditional values in the mainstream society, where an impersonal, high-tech lifestyle reigns paramount." Beverly is a member of the National League of American Pen Women, as well as a Distinguished Alumnus of Evangel University, and with her husband David makes her home in Colorado
