Excellent read. I am not normally a fan of this genre (the Mennonite/Amish) so I was reluctant to read it. But it made me cry and moved me to anger on behalf of the characters...that alone makes this an excellent book. It deals with a host of issues and is incredibly well written!

A modern retelling of the Scarlet Letter, but with a fantastic twist. It isn't just modern it takes the story into a community where sex out of wedlock is a major no no, so it heightens the story to the next level. The author made a perfect twist of fate into the story to allow for the father of this child to have to come out in the public and own up to his part of the whole fiasco.
