Relationships
seem to be the main topic and theme of this book: good, bad and at times stuck, but at other
times, evolving. Family relationships can be difficult in any culture. They can
be especially hard in the Amish culture described by Cramer as very harsh and
critical. As he depicts it, there isn’t much room for forgiveness. You sin, you
are more than chastised, but actually banned for life—from the church and,
therefore, from any family member or friend not wanting to be banned for interacting with you.
Levi,
the main character, sinned in multiple ways as a youngster and the book is
about his life and relationships after that. It is a very interesting read. I
feel, as usual on finishing a book, that I am losing some friends that I had in
the characters portrayed.
