Publisher's Summary
When Katie Lapp stumbles upon a satin infant gown in the dusty leather trunk of her parents' attic, she knows it holds a story she must discover. Why else would her Amish mother, a plain and simple woman who embraces the Old Order laws, hide the beautiful baby dress in the attic?
On the eve of Katie's wedding to widower Bishop John, startling news staggers out of her anguished parents, and nothing prepares Katie for the devastation their confession brings. Feeling betrayed, Katie watches as the only life she has ever known begins to unravel, leaving in its wake a furrow of pain and a future of hope.
The Shunning is the first book in a triology that recreates the simple life of the Amish. Its themes of hope and reconciliation show us that even when we think we are far away, God's love is always present.

Really interesting and well done
It was interesting to hear the thoughts of a woman in a very different culture than mine.

Repetitive and lackluster story
I struggled to finish this one by Beverly Lewis. I've read and listened to quite a few of her stories but this one just went around in circles after a bit and just dragged and dragged. Massive cliffhanger at the end that would have made the story a LOT more interesting and worthwile listening to. The narrator was great, story was not. While I realize this is a part of a series I can't imagine this all dragged out any further. I have a feeling that the cliffhanger would be dragged into book 3 without resolution and I don't want to spend a credit to see what happens unfortunately.
