Publisher's Weekly gave this book a terrific review. I've just started reading it, but so far I don't see anything that would make me think they were wrong. Having grown up in an Amish and Mennonite community, and having numerous relatives who are one or the other, this sensitive, thoughtful narrative moves me deeply and reminds me of my roots. It doesn't dwell on the events of that day beyond merely explaining what happened. Instead, it delves deeply into the grace the Amish community lived out through forgiveness of a deed so horrible it's hard to think about without tears. By their actions, this community taught us how we are to live as believers in a lost world.
