Hannah Lapp’s life in her Old Order Amish community is upended by a traumatic event that forces her to confront everything she has been taught. The trilogy traces her journey as she struggles with her faith, her family’s expectations, and a growing connection to the outside world.
Woodsmall builds the story around the real tensions that exist within Amish communities between obedience to tradition and individual conscience. The romance thread is woven through a larger narrative about identity and belonging.
