Two well-known authors, Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith, joined forces for a brand-new series, The Amish of Apple Grove. With their first effort, The Heart’s Frontier, they provide an intriguing glimpse of a different kind of living. “I enjoyed delving into the Amish tradition of teaching the next generation by way of parables and often-repeated quotes,” Virginia shares. “I love the Amish practice of instructing their children by way of parables, and I enjoyed recording some of those parables in The Heart’s Frontier. Maybe the wisdom of those ancient parables and sayings will influence a future generation, and I say that’s a good thing!”
Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith: Introducing The Amish of Apple Grove
Lori Copeland
Lori Copeland had a relatively late start in writing, breaking into publishing when she was already forty years old. Over the next dozen years, her romance novels achieved much success, as was evidenced by her winning the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, The Holt Medallion, and Walden Books' Best Seller award. She has been inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame. Despite her success in more mainstream romantic fiction, in 1995, she decided to switch focus. Her subsequent books have been in Christian romance. She has also collaborated with authors Angela Elwell Hunt or Virginia Smith on a series of Christian romance novels.
Virginia Smith
Virginia Smith is a writer of humorous novels, a speaker, and an avid scuba diver. She launched her career as a novelist with the release Just As I Am in 2006, and has been cranking out God-honoring fiction ever since. She and husband Ted divide their time between Kentucky and Utah, and escape as often as they can for diving trips to the Caribbean.
