New York Times bestselling author Claire Roberts is being sued by the Amish.

Yep, those Amish.

Claire’s latest release, a tell-all memoir about growing up Amish, reveals startling truths and intimate details about a passionate, secret love affair between herself and another woman. Claire now stands accused of libel and finds herself locked in a legal battle against the very community she once called home.

Can Claire defend the truth of her words while still protecting the privacy of the woman she once loved? And perhaps still does?

Just read it.. you’ll be glad you did.

Reviewed in Australia on 6 October 2019

Loved every moment of this gem. I tried to saviour it, but it proved far to much of challenge! I’d put it down, only to pick it right back up.
Honestly best read I’ve had in a while. Normally I won’t pick a book under 300pages, so glad I did! I’ll never forget this one, it’ll be a regular got to.
MC’s Rachel and Sarah- loves them.

Liebesgeschichte mit ungewöhnlichem Background

Reviewed in Germany on 22 September 2019

Verified Purchase

Einmal nicht die ganz typische lesbische Coming Out Geschichte. Dafür sorgt schon der ungewöhnliche Hintergrund bei den Amish. Die Handlung geschieht auf zwei Zeitebenen. Zum einen in der Erzählgegenwart. Erfolgs Autorin Claire Roberts hat einen Tatsachenroman mit dem Titel Girls WHO Pray veröffentlicht, in dem die Geschichte einer verbotenen Liebe bei den Amish erzählt wird. Der Bischof der Amish Gemeinde hat Claire deshalb wegen Verleumdung verklagt.
Die zweite Erzählebene beginnt zehn Jahre vor dem Prozess und erzählt die tatsächliche Liebesgeschichte von Sarah Zimmerman und Rachel Fisher, beide damals achtzehn Jahre alt.
Wieder einmal ist es unsäglich zu sehen wie Religion und soziale Zwänge die Liebe zwischen den beiden jungen Frauen beeinflussen. Schließlich flüchtet eine der beiden und wird zur erfolgreichen Autorin.
Girls Who Pray ist eine sehr bewegende und interessante Geschichte, spannend und mit mehreren Drehs der Handlung erzählt. Lediglich das Ende ist für meinen Geschmack im Verhältnis zur Vorgeschichte etwas zu kurz und etwas zu einfach geraten. Dennoch ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch.

Powerful read

The love story of the two main characters is incredible. The Amish back-trop was very interesting. I would have liked a little bit more of the ending but I understand why it ended the way it did. I really enjoyed this story

Read this, OK?

Come on, Evelyn Dar. Where in the world did this come from?!

I loved, Loved, LOVED this book! 5 Stars. Favorites shelf. Period.

Claire is being sued by the Amish for a non-fiction book release of her relationship with a woman during her time in the Amish community. The story intricately moves between past and present to reveal their restrictive and oppressive lives. It is a coming of age story. Then as the years go by it becomes an angsty drama. The passage of time gives this an epic love story feel.

What I really liked about this book was that it wasn’t just a story about two women falling in love. It was layered with friends and family issues. I was invested in all of their relationships and how what was happening impacted everyone.

Dar knows how to create intense situations. From discreet hand holding, hidden underwater touches, handsy porch encounters, and explorations in the barn… the threat of their forbidden interactions being uncovered was high and kept me feeling super anxious. But I was rooting for them to come together.

It hurt to see Rachel struggle with her attraction and feelings. And at times it was frustrating, too. But the deep weight of religion made her feel guilty and somehow responsible.

I thought it was unique how Rachel wasn’t just some rebellious girl that hated her place among the Amish. She truly believed in the religion and way of life. She never felt like she wanted to leave but circumstances made her feel that it was the only solution.

Also, I recently commented on another review that Sarah Water’s ‘Fingersmith’ contained the best twist ever. There is something in this that gives that one a run for it’s money. I was well and truly shocked. Then it made me think about things. And ultimately I came away both wanting to re-read it and to praise Dar for her careful writing that made me unconsciously make assumptions.

Were there some things that MAY be a bit suspect? Sure. I wasn’t a fan of some chosen kid names. It was a bit too cheese for me. And I doubt that this would have every truly made it to trial given all that Jenny (Claire’s lawyer and friend) knew about the situation all along.

But given how much I was entertained, those things just didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

Read this, OK? Forbidden romance, Amish, young lust, adult love, family drama, and radios up skirts.

Amazing

As an avid reader, through the years at my paying job, I've had fellow readers recommend books or give me books to read and it's how I started LBGT books.

This was my first read from Evelyn Dar, it won't be my last, man does she ever pack a cleverly layered story in "Girls Who Pray", she just keeps you turning pages and you don't want it to end.

Liked the trickery she used with the two main characters of Rachel and Sarah, she adds some great support characters to the storyline, they all help tell it and man would this ever make for a great TV series. Liked both Rachel and Sarah, liked the Amish glossary, it was interesting learn the Amish ways and not everyday do you read a book where the author had multiple options to write "Girls Who Pray".

To me that made it all the better, especially like I mentioned the trickery she used fooling the reader who a certain character was, really sealed the deal and made "Girls Who Pray" so friggin' good.
