An "excellent" portrait of Amish life rarely witnessed by those outside the faith is presented in this "captivating, heartwrenching" novel -- where circumstances are not always what they seem, where love meets falsehood, and where relationships grow strong enough to transcend death. "What a great book!" "Amazing." Universally loved by our booksellers. "A great book club recommendation." "Deserves an Oprah stamp."
