Can the Women of Lawrence County find true peace in Jesus?
Hello Seekerville friends! I'm happy to have the chance to visit with you, and thank you to Debby Giusti for inviting me.
If you don't already know me, I'm Tracy Fredrychowski, and I love to write real, raw, and relatable Amish fiction. I grew up in Northwestern, Pennsylvania, nestled between three Amish communities in a time when life was a lot simpler.
From my humble beginning, I'm not sure how I ever found myself thrown into a world of marketing, but it worked for me. For the last twenty-five years, my hubby and I have owned a web marketing business, so I have lots of stuff floating around in this head of mine.
For this post, I'd love to share with you my latest project. A ten-book series about the Amish women of Lawrence County.
While I love a feel-good happily ever after story, I also like to read Christian fiction that brings me closer to Christ. Stories that share real-life struggles and how we can turn to the Lord in those challenging circumstances.
That's precisely what my new The Amish Women of Lawrence County series is about. (Click on the above link to download the novella that started it all.)
Let me introduce you to the first three books in this series:
Emma's Amish Faith Restored
Her trust in the Lord has been tested beyond all strength. Can this grieving believer reclaim the way back to enlightenment?
Emma Yoder is struggling to cope. While the young Amish mother is devastated after her only child dies in the womb, she and her husband gain little comfort from the Old Order's rigid ways. And whispers among her people lead her to suspect the truth has been concealed from her for years.
Still fighting internally to forgive God for her tragedy, Emma sets out on a journey to discover the deep healing she craves. But her discovery of a newfound secret love of Jesus's teachings puts her at direct odds with the traditions of her community.
Can this woman of conviction find the courage to seek grace from the Almighty?
Rebecca's Amish Heart Restored
Lies and secrets surround a young woman's heart. Can this shame-filled believer salvage her life and find true happiness?
Rebecca Byler is struggling with the truth. While this young Amish woman is determined to push everyone away, Eli Bricker is set on discovering the pain that holds her captive. When Rebecca finds little reassurance from her Old Order's strict ways, she's drawn to Eli's ailing grandmother, Mary, and a letter from her deceased mother.
Still blaming herself for a series of tragedies, Rebecca plans to leave Willow Springs in hopes of saving Eli from God's wrath. But Mary sets a plan in motion to share the love of Jesus with Rebecca and force her hand in marriage to keep both Eli and her from giving up on love.
Can this sharp-tongued woman find the courage to face her past and seek forgiveness from the Almighty?
Anna's Amish Fears Revealed
Her faith in the Lord has been tried beyond all measure. Can this fearful believer rest secure in God's protective care for her life?
Anna Byler is paralyzed by fear and anxiety. While the young Amish woman is devastated after Simon Kauffman leaves the Amish community, she finds little comfort in her new relationship with Jesus to fill the void Simon left in her life.
Still wrestling with accepting God's comforting peace, Anna begins a journey to uncover the truth behind Simon's disappearance and then his untimely return to Willow Springs. But her discovery leads her to question both Simon and God's ultimate promises.
Can this woman of faith find the courage to have a peace-filled assurance in every aspect of her life?

DeleteWelcome to Seekerville, Tracy!
ReplyDeleteYour series looks great! And what impresses me most is your confidence in marketing. Would you like to share any tips with us?
Jan, I'd love to learn some marketing tips too!
DeleteMy best tip for authors is to concentrate more on building your email list than anything else you do. At the end of the day, Social Media can change, delete and block you. But your email list is something NO ONE can take from you. You'll get the most engaged readers from your email list.
DeleteGreat advice about the email list! Thanks, Tracy!
