Interesting Read
I just came from a trip to NY and then Pennsylvania, where we visited Lancaster County - Amish country. I have read so many Christian novels about the Amish that I was really excited to visit there. Eddie drove me around and didn't really share the excitement. LOL! I bought a book there called "The Happening" which was an account of the school shooting in the Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County in October 2006. It was told from the perspective of one of the girls who was shot but survived. To protect their privacy, it's really a fictional character, but one that was compiled from the stories that were real. It was interesting to read about the forgiveness that immediately took place in their community and how they reached out to the widow of the shooter. It was written by a Yoder guy, so I assume he must be a Mennonite in the area, judging by the name.
