The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

This week Vicki picked “THE WISH” by Beverly Lewis.

Leona Speicher got the sister she always dreamed of the day Gloria Gingerich and her family moved to Lancaster County. The Arkansas newcomers seem to be the answer to Leona’s prayers until Gloria’s father is expelled from their Old Order Amish church for reasons no one will discuss. Much to Leona’s dismay the Gingeriches suddenly pack up and disappear. Then after a silence of several years, Gloria unexpectedly contacts Leona who makes up her mind to go after her friend. Yet Leona’s fiancé, the deacon’s son, is alarmed. Will Leona’s dearest wish lead to her own undoing?

“THE WISH” is available now at the Big Sandy Library.
