Amish of Lancaster Books in Order

This is one of Sarah Price's foundational series, and it feels like a blueprint for much of what came later. Set in and around Lancaster County, it follows the Lapp family and the people drawn into their world, using each book to shift focus to a different character while keeping the same family and community close at hand.

The first novel brings in an outsider, Shana Slater, whose arrival at the Lapp farm lets readers discover Amish life alongside someone who is not born into it. From there, the series widens to include family members such as Sylvia, Daniel, and Samuel, each facing his or her own tests around faith, love, work, and the pull of the non-Amish world.

That family structure is what gives the series weight. Even when the romantic focus changes from book to book, the emotional stakes stay connected. Parents, siblings, neighbors, and church expectations all keep shaping the choices people make. One person's conflict is never fully private in a setting like this.

Lancaster County matters here as more than scenery.

Price uses farms, markets, chores, and local custom to make the series feel lived in. The books are not just about whether a couple gets together. They are about what kind of life that choice would create, and what it costs to step closer to or farther away from a community with strong expectations.

If you want a place to see Sarah Price's core interests laid out clearly, Amish of Lancaster is one of the best options. It has romance, certainly, but also the deeper themes that keep showing up across her work: outsiders looking in, insiders wondering whether they still fit, and families trying to love one another even when belief and desire pull in different directions.
