THE POSTCARD BY BEVERLY LEWIS - NEW
A Long-Forgotten Message Threatens a Community United in Secrecy
Rachel Yoder, a New Order Amish woman, lost her husband and son in a
tragic accident two years ago. Now, returning to her aging parents with
her young daughter, she has resigned herself to the life of a widow.
With a subdued but cheerful heart she helps her family run a
bed-and-breakfast in a quaint Lancaster county town.
Philip Bradley, a world-weary journalist from New York City on
assignment in Lancaster to write an article on the Amish community, is
a lodger at the Yoder's B&B. A chance discovery by Philip of a
postcard written in illegible Pennsylvania Dutch in the dresser of his
room sets off a series of events that leads him into the heart of the
Amish life and to the bedside of a mysterious woman known as "The
Storyteller." With the postcard as a link to a haunted past, the woman
gradually weaves a riveting tale as old as herself about a community
shuttered in secrecy, shattered by betrayal.
Fascinated by the story, Philip's and Rachel's lives become
inevitably intertwined despite the attempts of the community to protect
her from the outsider. Torn by devotion to the people she loves and the
awakening feelings in her heart, Rachel searches her past to restore
old wounds in order than new love might grow.
