Sadie: An Amish Retelling of Snow White (An Amish Fairytale #3)

About the Book

Book Title: Sadie: An Amish Retelling of Snow White
Author: Sarah Price
Release date: September 2018

Sadie Whitaker is determined to be a good daughter, but her stepmother, Rachel, has made no secret of her overwhelming jealousy--or her desire to get Sadie out of her life. Rachel's latest plot involves marrying Sadie off to a widower in need of a mother for his unruly children--and she has convinced Sadie's beloved father to agree.


Left with no choice, Sadie flees her small Amish hometown of Echo Creek. Planning to hide in a nearby forest, she stumbles across a house that belongs to the seven Glick brothers. All outcasts from the Old Order community of Echo Creek, they generously agree to let her stay--and for the first time in ages, Sadie feels safe and needed, keeping house for them as any good Amish woman would do. Until, that is, the Glicks' handsome cousin comes to visit. For though he awakens her heart's desire, she can't risk revealing her true identity, until love and faith give her the courage to take a chance on happiness . . . 

 My Thoughts

Sadie, the third book in Sarah Prices’ new series where she retells fairy tales in an everyday Amish setting. I was not disappointed in this novel! I believe it may be my favorite spin on the Grimm’s Brothers Snow White.


I really liked how the book opened on Sadie’s mother and we saw through her eyes how she imagined her daughter. I loved the bond that Sadie and her father shared, and the villainous step-mother was just the right amount of evil that we all love in a fairy tale while remaining true to her Amish self as well. I loved how Sarah portrayed Rachel with her own set of problems, which really made her someone that the reader could see as a true woman with little self-worth.  I think this made her more relate-able to many women, set apart from the malicious behavior toward Sadie.


The Brothers Grimm were amazing additions and I would love to read more about them in a future story perhaps. The addition of characters that could possibly be a future installment in this series was great and I really like how Price has written their stores intertwined.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good fairy tale or just a good Amish story.
