    call number: 364.1523/Ols

    This book is strong in story.

    Summary:
    This book tells the story of an Amish man from Ohio who leaves his family and religion and of his son, who was found dead in a frozen corn field in Nebraska.

    I would recommend this book!

    Why?
    Part of the story takes place in Stark and Wayne Counties, so there is local interest.

    NOTE: This book has a lot of references to homosexuality. If reading about sex between men bothers you, I would not suggest you read this book.

    Other suggested reading:
  • House of Secrets by Lowell Cauffiel also has ties to Stark County.
