Now twenty-five and solidly past the age of Amish courtship, Lucy has given up any hope of marriage, instead focusing her efforts on volunteering in both the Plain and fancy communities of Lancaster County. Yet no matter how hard Lucy strives, she feels uncertain that she'll ever find redemption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDale Wyeth has a deep mistrust of modern-day \"advances\" and the dependency they create. The young Englisher's interest in living off the grid is fueled further when he meets Christian Flaud, Lucy's father. Dale appreciates the self-sufficient ways of the Old Order Amish, and Christian invites him to learn more about them by staying at the family farm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Christian and Dale grow closer, developing a father-son rapport, Lucy begins to question what Dale's being there might mean for her. Could God be testing her? Or is it possible that even the most unworthy heart--and two people from very different walks of life--can somehow find a new beginning?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJah, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy thought. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTobe would have known what to say.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"But what would he say to \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eme \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eif he knew the truth?\" she murmured into her hands, leaning on the desk. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlas, that was something she could not afford to find out.\u003cbr\u003e\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Atonement \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mistakes of the past haunt Lucy Flaud, now twenty-five and beyond Amish courting age.
