About this audiobook
A CHANCE TO FOLLOW HER HEART,
A CHOICE THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME
Although Sadie King is blessed with the voice of an angel, she never thought that following the song in her heart would take her far beyond the strict boundaries of her Amish faith and away from the only home she's ever known. But during her rumspringa, one road leads to another, and suddenly she's secretly performing with a band. Now she faces an impossible choice between the music in her heart and the traditions branded upon her soul.
Mike Trueherz is a dedicated young paramedic who finds a kindred spirit in Sadie. Torn between family duty and his desire to pursue a life beyond his father's rural medical practice, he is inspired by Sadie's honesty and courage.
While spring unfurls rich colors and bounty through the countryside of Lancaster County, Sadie and Mike must reconcile their families' expectations with their own callings. Ultimately, their faith in each other and the God that has brought them together will give them the strength and the peace to take a chance-and to make the biggest decision of their lives.
A coming-of-age story reflecting the deepest messages of love, A Simple Spring is music for the heart.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When I read Simple Winter I was drawn into the King family and the world that Rosalind Lauer created and I throughly enjoyed the book, but A Simple Spring was wonderful.
A Simple Spring tells the story of Sadie King, who has a heart for music, and is struggling with her talent and her joy and love of music, and the rules of her community.
Many people search to find their true selves... will Sadie be able to figure out her place in this world? You will read it and be captivated. Lauer creates pictures with her words.
I can't wait to finish the trilogy with a Simple Autumn out this fall. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was Sadie's story.
Sadie was given the gift to sing -
Does she go to the English world and use this gift or stay Amish and give up the gift except for singing around the house.
Loved to see some of Remy and Adam back in book 2. I can only hope they get married in book 3. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sadie King has always done her best to live a good Amish life but she loves to sing and most music is frowned upon by the Amish community. Her Rumspringa has given her the chance to sing in a band but she is facing pressure from her family to be baptized which would mean giving up singing forever. Mike Trueherz, an Englisher, is in a similar situation - his doctor father wants him to become a doctor and eventually take over his practice but Mike doesn't want to become a doctor. As both Sadie and Mike struggle with deciding which world they belong to they become friends and soon more than friends which leads to even more complications as Amish and Englishers rarely marry.I've read many Amish romances and "A Simple Spring" may be one of the best I've read. It is a moving, often heartbreaking look at two people who are trying to please their families yet follow their own hearts at the same time. Sadie's story is at the forefront and author Rosalind Lauer has created an achingly real character who loves the Amish way of life yet is lured by life in the city and her love of all kinds of music. Lauer does an excellent job of comparing Sadie's struggles with that of Remy McCallister's story in A Simple Winter: A Seasons of Lancaster Novel (the first book in the series) - of all the characters Remy understands the best the decisions Sadie has to make. Lauer never criticizes the Amish community but it is clear how strict Amish life can be and how strict Amish families and church members can be. Mike's story is in the background (a wise decision by Lauer as Sadie's story is far more compelling although Mike's story may be more familiar to readers) yet you still feel for him as he struggles to find the right way to tell his father he doesn't want to be a doctor. Lauer lets the romance between Sadie and Mike develop slowly and when it does develop it is a very sweet romance. I know there will be another book in the series and look forward to hearing more about Sadie and Mike and their families."A Simple Spring" is a moving, at times heartbreaking romance (keep tissues nearby while reading it). Highly recommended.
