Why it's good for book clubs
Ron Rindo's novel drops you right into Amish country, where life is usually simple and quiet-until something wild happens.

We Say... |

A Book Club is more than just a group of people who meet to discuss books-it's an experience! One that opens the mind, increases awareness, and promotes healthy friendships. Joining a Book Club can give you a night out, introduce you to a new author, or it can simply push you out of your current book-reading rut. What's most important though, is that a Book Club will provide you with a forum in which to discuss incredible (or not so incredible) books with other book-loving readers and friends.
