The Shunning
Book 1 of the The Heritage of Lancaster County series
288 pages · First published 2000
Katie Lapp has grown up in an Old Order Amish family in Lancaster County, preparing for marriage and the life her community expects. A hidden satin baby dress and other clues make her question the story she has always been told about her birth. Her search for answers places family loyalty, community obedience, and personal identity in direct conflict. Beverly Lewis opens the Heritage of Lancaster County trilogy with Amish Christian fiction about secrets, belonging, and the consequences of discovering that the family history supporting your entire life may not be complete.
