Ever since reading the digital galley of Ella, Sarah Price's Amish retelling of Cinderella, through NetGalley, I've been waiting eagerly for Sadie. As much as I enjoyed Ella, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, I enjoyed Sadie even more.

The well known elements of Snow White are here, though transformed in ways that will surprise and delight, leaving no doubt of the author's talent or that Snow White was a perfect choice for an Amish retelling. Sadie is adorable, the "prince" is a bit of a charmer, the step-mother falls into evil and makes a deal with a hunter, her take on the seven dwarfs was quite fun, and an apple is involved. But through it all, Sadie is doing her best to be a good Amish maedel and has the love of her father, even when he is misled.

This is such a quick, fun, and enchanting read, that it is hard to believe that it is a 400 page novel. Highly recommended for those who love fairytale retellings and Amish fiction. Characters do appear in multiple books, and events of prior books are mentioned, so reading them in order may enhance enjoyment.

This book, by far, exceeded my expectations.
Whenever I'm shopping for a book, I usually skip over Amish fiction. I have a hard time when a book comes with its own dictionary or a "who's who" section. In my very limited experience with Amish fiction, it's a normal feature. It makes me feel like I am back in school when I have flip back and forth, and thus the read isn't enjoyable for me.
This book did none of that. Granted, it used some non-American English words, but they were easily deciphered in the context.
The writing is beautiful. Lovely descriptions of natural surroundings as well as the characters themselves. Of the love that bloomed between characters as well as the hate and discontent that festered. It's written in such a way that a true picture can develop in the mind's eye of the reader.
I'm so happy to have found a new author to follow. She has brought to light (for me) that not all Amish fiction is the same, and that's so refreshing!

This was a nice story of a romance among nice people. Yes, it is an Amish retelling of a children's story, but it was all so NICE! Not a bad thing...just not what I expected. There are many retelling stories of the most popular fairy tales these days. This one is a good book, again, just not what I expected.

“Sadie – An Amish Retelling of Snow White” by Sarah Price was a light diversion from the duties of life. The story was a bit far-fetched for my liking. I did see some truth in how Sadie was treated by her stepmother, but her father’s attitude bothered me quite a bit. I felt that I wasted my time a little by spending so much of it reading this, but it did provide a bit of relief after the duties of the day.

The author, Sarah Price, does a wonderful job bringing us an Amish version of Snow White.

All the elements of Snow White show up in this book. Sadie (Snow White), Frederick, her (Prince Charming,), her loving father who is easily influenced by her wicked, jealous, conniving stepmother, apples, and 7 Amish Dwarfs make up the components in this book.

Written in such a way that brings to your memory the beloved fairy tale of your youth, you will love this version.

I highly recommend this book. It was an enjoyable, fast read.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and Kensington Publishers for my honest opinion.

Sarah price held me captive again in her stories, are always so good she's a wonderful story teller this a clever retold story of snow white love the little men and Sadie and Frederick loved how it was told by the evil step mother and how Sarah was able to place in so nicely in the amish ways of life. You will fall in love with this story and series. Love the cover to it. Sarah has a gift for sure!!!!

I chose to read this book because I was curious to see how the author would turn a familiar fairy tale into an Amish story. I was not disappointed. While the story was very predictable, I read it in two days. I especially enjoyed how the "7 dwarves" were portrayed. The main character, Sadie, was Snow White, and she had an "evil" stepmother who was mean to her, tried to set her up with an older man, and then even tried to poison her by feeding her food that contained apples, since she was allergic to apples. The story had a happy ending of course, and Sadie ends up with her love, Frederick. I would definitely read other books in this series!

Sarah Price has done a great job retelling the stories in this series of Amish “fairy tales”. I loved this retelling of Snow White. Sadie’s story kept my interest all the way through the book. I think the author was probably kinder than I would have been to Sadie’s stepmother, but she kept Sadie’s character kind and loving, which is how it should be. Sadie was well-deserving of the happy ending to her story. A good book to read when you want something light and entertaining.

This is a wonderful retelling of Snow White in Amish form. Sadie lives with her dad and stepmother Rachel. Things were going ok until Rachel wanted a baby of her own and was not able to conceive as quickly as she wanted. She starts being pretty harsh with Sadie. Sadie loves nature and escapes in near by woods for a bit to collect herself. While there she meets Frederick. Sadie starts to have strong feelings toward Frederick and doesn't tell him for fear he may not feel the same. Rachel finds out she has a suitor and makes life pretty difficult for her. Sadie is allergic to Apples and Rachel uses them in a dish that makes Sadie very ill. Lucky for her that her dad figures it out. He is not very happy with Rachel about it. Rachel tries to set her up to marry a widower with several children against Sadie"s wishes. She runs away from that situation and finds herself in the woods living with seven small stature amish men. As she helps the men and they help her she soon finds out that their cousin is no other than Frederick. After finding her Frederick tells her dad and even away from the house Rachel finds a way to get to her. After they got the Allergy medicine for her this time her dad the church finally put a halt to Rachels jealous ways. After a while everybody settles in to happy endings.

Wonderful Amish version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The wicked stepmother at first seems like Cinderella’s stepmother, but she has deadly intentions. Frederick Keim is a great Prince Charming. The Grimm brothers are a clever remake of the dwarfs.
Sadie’s stepmother hasn’t gotten in three years of marriage, and she takes her frustration out on Sadie. She attempts to push Sadie into marriage with a rude, older widower with nine children, and adds apples to meals, knowing Sadie is allergic to them. I almost feel sorry for Sadie’s father for marrying the witch.
Fun, modern fairy tale.

Sarah Price has written a series of books that take on Grimm's Fairy Tales. Her latest is
based on Snow White. Sadie, an Amish retelling of Snow White, follows true to the plot lines of the story.

Sarah's mom passed away a while ago, and three years ago, her father remarried. Rachel was excessively jealous of Sadie's relationship with her father, Sadie's looks, Sadie's youth, you name it, Rachel found a reason not to like it. She found reasons to keep Sadie home from gatherings of the young people in the Amish district, extra chores, and ultimately finds a man for Sarah to marry. This is not the man Sarah would have chosen for herself, but Rachel promised him that she would marry him.

It comes to a head and Sarah runs away deep into the forest behind her father's farm. She fell asleep just inside a stone wall and wakes up inside a stone cabin. The cabin belongs to the to the Grimm brothers and there are seven of them. Sadie works throughout the day to clean the cabin and makes dinner for the men. It is here that Frederick finds Sadie and sees how she's been treated. When her stepmother brings her a chicken pot pie (laced with apple juice), Sadie thinks she is extending an olive branch until her throat closes up and she can't breathe. Rachel knows that Sadie is allergic.

Sarah Price has done an admiral job in making the story fit the fairy tale, even down to the poison apple--just by giving Sadie an anaphylactic allergy. This is an easy book to read and has its enjoyable moments, but it will make the reader angry in places, because the storyline is so believable.

Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and some bread for seven little men.

I appreciate Kensington/Zebra Publishing for supplying the galley I read through NetGalley.com

Sarah Price surprised me. I was not familiar with her first book in this Amish retelling series,so I had no expectations. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. The story was plausible. The characters held true to Amish characteristics/lifestyle. Sadie loses her mother at a young age. She does not get along with her stepmother. The stepmother begins to dream of marrying her off to an older Amish man with nine children! She wants Sadie out of the house so she can have her own children with her new husband. However, Sadie has other plans. She runs away, and is given shelter in the woods by a group of seven Amish brothers. The brothers keep to themselves as they were born with dwarfism, Many Amish communities exhibit certain rare diseases such as Eli’s-can Crevels Syndrome, a type of dwarfism. A distant cousin saves the day. After reading about Sadie, I also read Belle: An Amish Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and Ella: An Amish Retelling of Cinderella.

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 relatable 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.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from netgalley.com and Kensington Books in return for my honest opinion. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Book 3 in the Amish Fairty Tale series is a wonderful retelling of Snow White. Just like the first two books, the protagonist is an Amish girl. This story is complete with a handsome Amish man, 7 brothers of smaller stature, a nasty stepmother, and an apple allergy! It all combines to bring a delightful story readers recognize and appreciate from author Sarah Price. I hope she continues the series, it is just so enjoyable to read.

This retelling of the classic Snow White fairytale set in the Amish community Of Echo Creek is a great read: lots of fun while adhering to the original story but also reminding readers of the truths so important to the Amish faith.
Sadie, An Amish Retelking of Snow White, is Sarah Price’s third classic retelling, after Bell from Beauty and the Beast and Ella, The story of Cinderella.
In this story, Sadie lives with her father and stepmother, Rachel. When Rachel is unable to become with child, she vents her anger and frustration out on Sadie, making her do extra work around the house and causing her undue stress. As the weeks progress, Rachel gets more and more embittered, going so far as to plan a marriage for Sadie with an older widower who has several children. Rachel seems to be jealous of Sadie and her relationship with her father and is determined to make her miserable. Finally, unable to bear the thought Of marrying a man she doesn’t love, she runs away. When she falls asleep in the forest, she awakes in a cabin with seven older Amish brothers. As they help her with a place of safety, she also spends time cleaning and cooking for them. When their cousin comes to bring them supplies, she just might find more than a place of refuge.
I really enjoyed this book. I Didn’t want to put it down. I actually read it on my kindle while doing my daily walk. I highly recommend it. I recieved a free copy of this story from NetGalley for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

SADIE An.Amish Retelling of Snow White. Having read her other ones,from fairytells, was looking forward to another great read. This again was a delightful read, yet filled with mystery, of why her step mother disliked her so. What is a young, kind hearted girl to do when her father agrees with his new wife. The story to find 7 men rejected by their Old Order faith, wanting her to stay. Now she feels safe and wanted, our hearts go out to her. All the classic features are given in this story also. The wood cutter, conversing with animals. A book as well as her other fairytale stories are ones to reread. Given ARC by Net Galley and Kensington books for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

I was intrigued to learn that Sarah Price is writing books based on Fairytales. To combine them with an Amish series of characters is hard to fathom. Sadie is the Amish counterpart to Snow White who has a jealous stepmother, Rachel, who certainly epitomizes the evil stepmother from the beloved Fairytale. It works! The story has the bones of the original Fairytale yet stays true to the belief system of the Amish. I enjoyed it very much. I'm quite critical as a reader and I suppose I was looking for a mistake or serious betrayal of the original story and, of course, the animated movie from childhood. It was quite enjoyable as I looked at the cross overs of the two types of stories. I found the chemistry between the Amish characters to be excellent and believable. Frederick is a sweet Amish version of a prince and I love the representation of the "Seven Dwarves". The introduction of these characters and the reason for their lives to be as they are is also believable and it all makes sense. I loved this story and want to read the entire series.
This is a great story about forgiveness and how important it is to see the true person, not basing everything on a person's looks. This is another Amish story that I can appreciate as it does not promote characters as being perfect and religious.



Special thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy of this book. This is my own opinion of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it

I absolutely love this series! I still haven't read the first (Belle's story), but I definitely have it on my TBR pile. Sarah Price seamlessly weaves each of the girls' stories together through their friendships. While this is the third book in the series, it could easily be read as a stand-alone or simply out of order without difficulty. The characters from the other stories are present in the book, but only enough is revealed about them to peak your interest. The timing of their stories overlap instead of happening one after the other and I'm really impressed with how the author was able to make them flow together.

While I grew up on Disney movies and love a good fairytale, I must admit that I'm also a realist when it comes to stories. My favorite movie of all time is Ever After, which is a version of the Cinderella story that would actually have been possible. I love this series because while each of the stories have similarities to the Disney fairytales, they are unique in ways that make them seem actually plausible.

One thing I found interesting in this story, is that the author makes the "evil stepmother" from the original Snow White story more human and relatable. She is dealing with real-life, tough, emotional battles. In her mid-thirties and unable to conceive a child, her heart is broken. It doesn't excuse her behavior, but it at least creates a level of sympathy for her. I am also in my thirties now, and haven't been able to conceive in the three years I've been married. It's tough, and I confess that it's easy to feel jealous of others when they announce their pregnancies. I smile for them on the outside, but on the inside I admit I'm hurting. Through most of the story I couldn't bring myself to hate Rachel, even though it angered me how she treated Sadie. I hoped her story would turn around too and that she would be able to find her own happiness. It also made me think about how we look at others around us who may or may not be believers who are dealing with sin issues. Sometimes how we approach them and deal with them can make all the difference. Sometimes people push you away because they are afraid of what you will think if they let you in. Sometimes people walk around with a smile on their face when they really want to cry, simply because they're afraid to talk about what's troubling them. Everyone is facing battles in this life, and we should keep that in mind when approaching them.

I highly, highly recommend this series! I am absolutely loving it so far and can't wait to see what the author comes up with next!

*I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. I was not required to give a positive review. Thoughts and opinions expressed are mine alone.

I am loving these Amish retellings of classic fairy tales! I had to read 80% of the way through this one before putting it down due to sheer exhaustion at the end of the day. The author does a great job of taking these stories and reinventing them in the Amish background. I was curious to see how the seven dwarfs were going to fit into the story, but it worked wonderfully! The wicked stepmother, the woodcutter, the hunter...all of the classic roles are present, as well as the Disney-esque aspects of the songbird princess and conversing with animals. You'll feel anger, betrayal, and hopelessness as you read through the story, but all will be redeemed. It is, after all, a fairy tale!

Sadie, a young Amish woman, the apple of her father's eye is having a hard time dealing with her stepmother's jealousy. She flees for her life following her stepmother's plot to marry her off to an old widower. She is hosted by the seven brothers whom the Amish have shunned from their community. and meets their mysterious handsome cousin.

The author cleverly weaves the modern Amish aspects into this fairytale, especially the seven dwarfs part. Sadie was a quick, clean and charming read that readers can enjoy in one or two sittings.
