Books like The postcard by Beverly Lewis
Rachel Yoder, a New Order Amish woman, has endured the loss of her husband and son two years ago. Returning to her aging parents with her young daughter, she embraces the quiet life of a widow and helps her family run a bed‑and‑breakfast in a small town of Lancaster County. Philip Bradley, a seasoned journalist from New York, stays as a lodger while on assignment to write about the Amish community. During his stay, he finds a postcard written in Pennsylvania Dutch tucked in a drawer; its mysterious message draws him into the heart of Amish life and brings him to the bedside of a woman known only as "The Storyteller." Philip and Rachel’s lives become intertwined as the story of a secretive, betrayed community unfolds, and Rachel wrestles with her past and a new, growing affection.
