THE HALLOWED ONES

Katie is on the verge of her Rumspringa, the time in Amish life when teenagers can get a taste of the real world. But the real world comes to her in this exciting tale with a philosophical bent. Rumors of massive unrest on the "Outside" abound. Something murderous is out there. When everyone in the bordering town disappears without a trace, the Amish Elders make a rule: No one goes outside, and no outsiders come in. But when Katie finds a gravely injured young man, she can't leave him to die. She smuggles him into her family's barn - but at what cost to her community? The suspense of this vividly told, truly horrific thriller will keep the pages turning.
