The Amish Bonnet Sisters Books in Order

Where to Start Reading The Amish Bonnet Sisters

With dozens of books in the saga, the best way to read The Amish Bonnet Sisters is in strict chronological order, which closely mirrors the publication order. Because the series functions like a serialized family drama or soap opera, characters grow, marry, have children, and face ongoing community challenges from one book to the next. Reading them out of order will spoil major plot points, marriages, and family secrets.

You have two choices for your starting point:

• The Publication Starting Point: Start with Amish Mercy (Book 1), published in 2019. This is how the author originally introduced readers to the Baker family, introducing the eldest sister Florence, her stepmother Wilma, and her sisters Mercy, Honor, and Joy.
• The Chronological Starting Point: Start with A Better Amish Life. Although published in 2023 as the 36th book, this is a prequel (often designated as Book 0.5) that details the events leading up to the first book, offering deeper backstory on the family's dynamics and Wilma's early influence on the household.

Understanding the Spinoff Series

Author Samantha Price has created a rich, multi-generational universe centered around the Baker family. Once you finish the main 43-book series, you can continue the story through two distinct spinoff series:

1. Amish Bonnet Sisters: Legacy of Faith

This direct sequel series picks up ten years after the events of the original saga. It focuses on the next generation of the family, particularly Wilma's granddaughter, as they grow up and navigate their own romance, faith, and identities in the modernizing Amish world. The reading order for this series is:

• A Summer of Discovery
• A Season of Secrets
• A Harvest of Hearts
• A Season of Grace
• A Season of Confessions
• A Winter of Changes

2. The Amish Bonnet Sisters: Wilma's Daughters

Launched in 2026, this spinoff series takes a unique multi-generational approach. It follows Wilma's daughters—now middle-aged women—as they are interviewed by Wilma's granddaughter, Tabitha. Tabitha is seeking marriage advice and wants the unvarnished truth about their lives, marriages, and past dramas, bridging the gap between the older and younger generations. Read them in this order:

• Mercy
• Honor
• Joy
• Hope
• Favor
• Cherish

What to Know Before You Start

The series is highly praised for its fast-paced, drama-filled plotting. Unlike many traditional Amish romances which are slow and deeply quiet, Samantha Price injects plenty of family secrets, vindictive stepmothers, runaways, and forbidden relationships with Englishers. While it maintains wholesome values and themes of forgiveness, it behaves much like an Amish soap opera. Readers should be prepared for major cliffhangers and overlapping storylines that span across multiple volumes.
