I am naturally drawn to historical, rather than contemporary fiction, but I made an exception for Still Life in Shadows. I'm so glad I did. Alice Wisler created one of the most engrossing story worlds I have ever read, and definitely the best in contemporary fiction I've read. The truths were gently but profoundly proclaimed, and I deeply sympathized with the well-drawn characters. This book is not only entertaining, but important. I hope you'll read it for yourself to find out why.

This is a very well written book, with characters that you can identify with, right from the beginning. Stories with an Amish twist are always interesting to me, as the lifestyle seems too good to be true. While this book may have given a different slant to that seemingly idyllic way of life, I found myself believing this to be much more the way things really are. What a blessing to know that God's forgiveness is there for all of us.
