Beautiful, Engaging Story
After her brother's violent death, Ashley Walters became a police
officer, so that others would not suffer the same fate. Now ten years later,
Ashley moved to Moneptezuma to escape the crushing control of her parents.
Montezuma is in the midst of a revitalization effort that threatens to leave
the local Menenite community at odds with the rest of the community. When
accidents begin to happen, Ashley doesn't know if Brad, a young Menenite boy is
to blame or someone else. Patrick, Brad’s counselor meets Ashley and wonders if
she is worth the risk of opening his heart. The forgiveness Ashley discovers that
is a daily part of the Menenite life, shows Ashley that she tried to control
her own life instead of giving control to God. As she learns to forgive, she
learns to love and open herself to others.
Amy Wallace does a beautiful job weaving an interesting
story, a beautiful setting, and well developed characters with a lesson on
control and forgiveness. The strongly Christian theme touched my heart as well
as entertained me. I would recommend this story to Christians of any age.
