The Thorn
Synopsis
Rose's older sister, Hen, knows more than she should about falling for the wrong man. Unable to abandon her Amish ways, Hen is now separated from her very modern husband. Their young daughter, Mattie, must visit her father regularly, but Hen insists she wear Amish attire and speak Pennsylvania Dutch, against her husband's wishes. Will Hen be able to reestablish her place among the People she left behind? And will she be able to convince Rose to steer clear of the rogue neighbor, Nick? The Thorn opens Beverly Lewis's Rose Trilogy, a saga of two Amish sisters and the choices that pull them toward — and away from — the only life they've known.
