The Parting (The Courtship of Nellie Fisher Book #1)
NY Times bestselling author's new series chronicling the separation of families during the New Order/Old Order split in the Amish community in Lancaster County, PA.
From the Back Cover
The People themselves dare to challenge the Old Ways of their
heritage...and each patriarch must choose a side.
Nearly one hundred days have passed since the untimely death of
Nellie Mae Fisher's beloved younger sister, Suzy, and Nellie dares
again to dream of a future with handsome Caleb Yoder. But with
rumors about Suzy still flying among the People, there are those
who would keep the young courting couple apart...including Caleb's
own father.
Meanwhile, a growing number of Honeybrook's Amish farmers are
demanding tractors and other forbidden modern conveniences. When a
revival adds to the tensions, passions flare. With the Old Order
community pushed to the breaking point, Nellie and Caleb find their
families--and themselves--in the midst of what threatens to become
an impossible divide.
