After the drowning of their four-year-old-son, the Evans family relocates from Alabama to the outskirts of an Amish community in Pennsylvania. There Delilah Evans, a black woman, meets Emma Mullet, her white Amish neighbor. The women quickly bond over shared struggles of motherhood, marital discord, and having experienced the loss of a child. In spite of the racial issues that threaten to divide the small town of Sinking Creek in 1956, Delilah and Emma stand strong, drawing courage from each other. However, as pressures in their lives mount and secrets come to light, unthinkable events test their bond and change the women in surprising ways.
VERDICT Younts's (Seasons: A Real Story of an Amish Girl) powerful novel reverberates with love that crosses religious and racial boundaries to find the humanity that connects us all. Highly recommended.
