Q&A with author Amy Clipston

How did you research the culture of the Lancaster County Amish community?

I have a dear Amish friend who answers all of my questions. She lives in Lancaster County, PA, and I visit her at least once a year as well as speak to her on the phone frequently. She has helped to inspire my books, and she suggested I write about a marketplace since her daughters used to work at a market.

What common themes appear throughout your work?

My books always contain a theme of second chances and renewed faith in God. I hope that readers walk away from this book with a belief in new beginnings and a deeper faith that God provides for us and will get us through the storms in our lives.
