The Shaker Book Series:

THE SEEKER by Ann H. Gabhart

• As the country teeters on the edge of the Civil War in 1860, a young Kentucky gentlewoman must find her place in the world
• Gabhart's first two Shaker novels have sold over 100,000 copies.
• "Gabhart knows her Shaker history." - RT Book Reviews

Charlotte Vance is a young woman who knows what she wants. But when the man she planned to marry joins the Shakers - a religious group that does not marry - she is left dumbfounded. And when her father brings home a new wife who is young enough to be Charlotte's sister, it is more than she can bear. With the country - and her own household - on the brink of civil war, this pampered gentlewoman hatches a plan to avoid her new stepmother and win back her man by joining the Shaker community at Harmony Hill. Little does she know that this decision will lead her down a road toward unforeseen peace - and a very unexpected love.

The Seeker brings alive the strikingly different worlds of the Southern gentry, the simple Shakers, and the ravages of war to weave a touching story of love, freedom, and forgiveness that sticks with readers long after they have turned the last page.

"Gabhart's absorbing coming-of-age Christian historical novel deftly juxtaposes Adam's and Charlotte's internal faith journeys against a backdrop of unusual settings. Also recommended for Civil War buffs and Shaker aficionados."
Booklist

"The third book in Gabhart's Shaker series is an amazing read. The characters must make decisions they never thought they would have to face. Gabhart continues to surprise and treat her fans with her vast knowledge of Shaker history."

THE BELIEVER by Ann H. Gabhart

• A return to Harmony Hill Shaker Village in the year 1833
• A romantic story of two people caught up in the storms of life
• A well-researched look back at the Shakers in 19th Century Kentucky

Elizabeth Duncan has nowhere to turn. In charge of her younger brother and sister after their parents die, her options are limited. When she hears that the Shaker community in the next county takes in orphans, she presents herself and her siblings at Harmony Hill. Despite the hard work and strange new beliefs around her, Elizabeth is relieved to have a roof overhead and food to eat. But when she feels a strong attachment to a handsome young believer named Ethan, life gets complicated. Ethan has never looked on the opposite sex as anything but sisters, but he can't shake the new feelings that Elizabeth has awakened in him. Will Elizabeth be forced to leave the village to keep Ethan from stumbling? Or will Ethan's love for her change their lives forever?

Exciting news! The Believer, a CBA and ECPA bestseller, made the top twenty list of Library Journal Christian Fiction Bestseller List at number 17 in February. This list include titles most in demand by libraries and bookstores nationwide from Baker and Taylor.

THE OUTSIDER by Ann H. Gabhart

The Outsider was a finalist for the 2009 Christian Book Award in Fiction!

• An unlikely love and unwanted gift threaten to destroy a quiet Shaker girl of the 1800s.
• Well researched and brilliantly written, The Outsider is historically accurate in time and place.
• Compelling characters and fast-paced plot will attract fans of Liz Curtis Higgs and Lorraine Snelling.

For as long as she can remember, Gabrielle Hope has had the gift of knowing - visions that warn of things to come. When she and her mother joined the Harmony Hill Shaker community in 1807, the community embraced her gift. But Gabrielle fears this gift, for the visions are often ones of sorrow and tragedy. When one of these visions comes to pass, a local doctor must be brought in to save the life of a young man, setting into motion a chain of events that will challenge Gabrielle's loyalty to the Shakers. As she falls deeper into a forbidden love for this man of the world, Gabrielle must make a choice. Can she experience true happiness in this simple and chaste community? Or will she abandon her brothers and sisters for a life of the unknown?

Soulful and filled with mystery, The Outsider lets readers live within a bygone time among a unique and peculiar people. This tender and thought-provoking story will leave readers wanting more.
