Sarah Price Books in Order (Updated May 10, 2026)

Sarah Price is an American Christian fiction author best known for Amish fiction, Amish romance, Austen retellings, and clean inspirational stories.

Her bibliography is large, but the reading order is not difficult once the books are separated by lane. Some series follow families or communities. Others are themed retellings. Several titles are standalones.

The safest approach is to read each named series in order and treat the standalone novels separately.

Best Place to Start

1. Start with Fields of Corn if you want Sarah Price’s earliest Amish fiction.
2. Start with Plain Fame if you want her best-known celebrity-meets-Amish romance sequence.
3. Start with First Impressions if you are coming for the Amish Jane Austen retellings.
4. Start with The Amish Cookie Club if you want a later, traditional community-centered Amish series.
5. Start with Belle if you want the Amish fairy-tale retellings.

1. Fields of Corn (2010): The first Amish of Lancaster book introduces Price’s Amish romance world through faith, community, and the pressures of choosing a future.

5. A Gift of Faith (2012): A related Amish of Lancaster title, best read after the main four books as a companion piece.

Plain Fame Books in Order

This is one of Sarah Price’s clearest continuing series. Read it in order because the character arc develops across the books.

1. Plain Fame (2012): A famous Englischer musician enters an Amish world, creating the central culture clash and romance that drives the series.
2. Plain Change (2013): The second book follows the consequences of that unlikely relationship as private choice becomes harder under public attention.
3. Plain Again (2013): The third book continues the struggle between fame, Amish values, love, and belonging.
4. Plain Return (2015): The fourth book revisits the emotional cost of moving between two very different worlds.
5. Plain Choice (2016): The fifth book pushes the series toward a clearer decision about identity, love, and faith.
6. Plain Christmas (2016): The Christmas entry gives the series a seasonal continuation and should be read after the earlier Plain Fame books.

Amish of Ephrata Books in Order

These are shorter Amish novellas tied to the Ephrata setting.

1. The Tomato Patch (2012): The first Ephrata novella introduces Priscilla Smucker and the local tensions surrounding an upcoming charity event.

Amish Classics Books in Order

These are Amish retellings of Jane Austen novels. They do not form one continuous plot, but publication order is the cleanest reading path.

Cowgirl Cat Books in Order

• Cowgirl Cat (2016): A lighter standalone / series-starter title outside Price’s main Amish romance lanes, centered on a cowgirl-themed premise.

Amish Fairytale Books in Order

Chronological Order

A single chronological order is not recommended.

Sarah Price’s books are spread across Amish communities, Austen retellings, fairy-tale retellings, Regency romance, children’s books, nonfiction, and standalones. They do not form one shared timeline.

Use series order where a series exists. Use publication order only if you are reading the entire bibliography.

Latest Sarah Price Book

The latest listed Sarah Price fiction title I found is Fruits of the Spirit: Season One Episode 17 (2023).

Some bibliography sites list An Amish Cookie Club Courtship (2020) as her latest book because they do not include the later self-published / episodic titles. For a complete current reading-order page, Episode 17 should be treated as the latest confirmed listed fiction entry unless a newer release is verified.
