"What a great, compelling page turner. I could not put it down, and loved it all!"

Novel Reviews
"I enjoyed this story. There was a lot of focus on forgiveness, which I enjoyed. Many of the characters in the book had reason, by our standards, to be upset with other people, as well as hold grudges, but as circumstances developed, they also learned the value of forgiveness. It also shows how much city folks can come to appreciate the simplicity of simple living."

What Readers are Saying About Leaving Lancaster:

"I could not put this book down! The story was so moving, and the characters were developed so well I pictured them easily. I've always loved the Amish communities near my hometown, and had in fact had Amish friends growing up. It's a wonderful story of faith and forgiveness, something I believe people should do more of. This book was brilliantly written, and I'm looking forward to another from the same author."

"… I really enjoyed this book, I had a hard time putting it down. I think anyone that invests their money in purchasing the book and their time in reading it will be thankful they did."

"I love how the book does not cover a huge amount of time.
I love the continued conversations always going on.
I really enjoyed how Kate dealt with the issues between daughter and mother because that is a REAL-LIFE thing that happens.
You cannot go wrong when you write about forgiveness and hanging in there with each other.
Kate also points out well how "what we do as individuals" can affect many people……even beyond our own generation.
I read the book in one sitting…..PLEASE WRITE A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!"

"… Kate has done her research well. Her facts and information about the Amish are accurate and sensitive to their feelings … I loved the well described characters. I felt Holly's pain and desires. Her desires, confusion, happiness became part of me. The plot was well developed. There were many surprises along the way, which kept me reading way beyond bedtime!! I read this book in two days- I HAD to know how all of the challenges were met!! A great book , with great characters and a great plot!! What more can you ask for??"

"… I was certainly not disappointed!!!!!! You can tell she knows the Amish and the area she writes about and it is just a fantastic story - want a sequel to it so that the characters can continue on!!!!!! Just absolutely loved it! Good work, Kate Lloyd!!!!"

"This is a wonderful refreshing Amish tale that focuses on the complications of second chances."

"I won this book on a Goodreads giveaway. This is a great book for anyone who loves the Amish romance stories. It's about family and forgiveness and falling in love. That's my kind of book! LOVED IT!"

"Just finished Leaving Lancaster by Kate Lloyd- Absolutely loved the book- a very good Amish story indeed!!!! I would recommend it a must read for anyone who likes Amish stories!!!"

"I will have to say this is one of the most fascinating Amish novels I have ever read- absolutely delightful- I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. I only hope that Kate Lloyd has more books to come in this series!!! Definetly a 5 star rating!!!! . . . I am absolutely addicted to Holly and Esther and Nathaniel and Zachery!!!"
