Can two young people
survive the suspicions of their friends and neighbors when
tragedy strikes a close-knit Amish community?
Perry Borntrager had been missing for months from the quiet
Amish community of Crittenden, Kentucky, when his body is
discovered at the bottom of an abandoned well. The first
death from mysterious circumstances in more than two
decades brings the scrutiny of the outside world: A police
detective arrives to help the local sheriff with the
investigation. His questioning begins with Lydia Plank,
Perry’s former girlfriend, and Perry’s best friend, the
Englischer Walker Anderson.
Lydia and Walker know they didn’t have anything to do with
Perry’s death, but they both hold secrets about his final
days. Do they dare open up about the kind of man Perry had
become? In the oppressive shadow of these dark times, they
discover strength in a most unlikely companionship: one
that offers solace, understanding, and the promise of
something more.
