sins of his past. Hoping to patch things up with his father, Will

Dusk. An Amish farm in Ohio. Will's father doesn't recognize him at
first--it's been eight years--so he holds a match up to Will's face
to see him better. "I thought you were dead," Levi Mullet says,
then blows out the match and walks away.
This is not how it's supposed to be. Where's the fatted calf? The
party?
For years, Will has worked to overcome the ban of his father and
the Old Order Amish community. Only now, when the life of his own
son hangs in the balance, does he begin to see the truth--that love
is the proof of God, and forgiveness the proof of love.
Levi's Will is the mesmerizing story of an Amishman seeking to
build a bridge across three generations.
