Though I have a Plain heritage, I never thought I would write Amish fiction until I was told a story whose premise I knew others needed to hear as well. Hope you enoy!<br /><br />Best,<br />Jolina Jolina Petersheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01735429508293558963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-20201688464990649362013-03-22T17:40:45.021-07:002013-03-22T17:40:45.021-07:00I'm definitely intrigued.

I'm a sucker for a modern retelling even though, as Shonya says, it's rarely good. <br />Actually I just finished "Hester: The Missing Years of the Scarlet Letter" by Paula Reed actually. I found it accidentally while trying to put The Scarlet Letter on hold at the library. I wouldn't recommend it, but it was an interesting take.

Plus, I tend to avoid "Amish" reading these days. I'll wait and let you decide if I need to read it or not! :) Bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680170638396181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-3113975749575349372013-03-22T10:09:11.222-07:002013-03-22T10:09:11.222-07:00Huh.

Speaking on behalf of the publisher, Tyndale House has never before published a work in the "Amish fiction" genre, but this story is based on an actual incident and so powerfully told we simply could not pass it up.Maggiehttp://www.tyndale.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-59610902877001111352013-03-22T07:57:29.349-07:002013-03-22T07:57:29.349-07:00Like Shonya, I'm a little tired of the plethor...Like Shonya, I'm a little tired of the plethora of "Amish fiction," but this sounds interesting. And the author lives in TN -- that caught my eye, too, since I'm there now!

At first I was annoyed at "a modern retelling" because that never sounds good, but the synopsis actually sounds rather interesting.<br /><br />Then again, I am so over the bizarre "christian fiction" obsession with all things Amish and Mennonite.<br /><br />I'm torn. Hurry up and read it! LolShonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310547848215492736noreply@blogger.com
