Rachel is a single mother to a newborn son, something that is frowned upon in her Old Order Mennonite community. She refuses to name the father, and the bishop (her brother-in-law) asks her to leave the community. She is not the only person in the town with secrets, many of which are revealed in the story.
I thought this was a good book and an interesting retelling of The Scarlet Letter. The story is told from the viewpoint of two people- Rachel and the recently deceased Amos. I'm looking forward to the author's next book.
