Very good book with an unusual twist. An young Amish woman is raped and left for dead on the side of the road. Her bishop and elders, because of a delay in telling them of the incident, don't believe that she was raped. Because she was not a member yet, she was not shunned, but she was ostracized by her community. She ended up leaving the man she planned to marry (not of her church jurisdiction, a forbidden act in her community) and moved to another community in another state, hoping to make a new life for herself. I hope that the next book in the series tells us what happened to her as she traveled and made her new home.
