The Shunning by Beverly Lewis


My work friends and I started reading this series because a couple of us had watched the Hallmark presentation of it. We just had to know what happened next because there were not anymore movies made! As always, the Amish community is always intriguing to read about. In Hickory Hollow, Pennsylvania, a secret lies within the Lapp family. When Katie Lapp stumbles upon a satin infant gown in the dusty leather trunk of her parents' attic, she knows that something is just not right. After figuring out the name in the dress is actually her natural born name she finally realizes why she has not always been the most obedient Amish girl. When she is supposed to marry widower Bishop John she is too distraught by the resent news to go through with it. She runs out of the wedding and as a result she is shunned from the community. At the end of this novel there was a twist that I was not even prepared for. I have just began the second novel, and can not wait to see where it leads.
