An Amish Gathering

Thomas Nelson · 2009
51/100
👎 Skip It

One of the earlier entries in what's now a crowded subgenre, from three well-regarded authors, spanning a year in a Lancaster County community — grief, a prodigal's return, a woman chafing at domestic expectations. Even the dossier flags the plots as familiar by now, and no professional review backs it up. Historically notable, not essential today.
