Amish children are taught from a young age to forgive. But what if the transgression is so horrific, it’s impossible? That’s the premise for Colleen Coble’s new Amish suspense, Anathema.
Hannah Schwartz comes home from a tryst with a forbidden love to find her parents dead of strychnine poisoning. Her cousin and the Amish bishop insist she reach out to the murderer’s family, but she finds she can’t do it and chooses to run away with her beau rather than face the anger in her heart. Hannah’s decision lands her in even worse circumstances as she finds out how little she knows about the man she loves when he first raises his fist to her. His violence escalates until she ends up at the bottom of the stairs with the life she carried inside her lost.
Or was it? Five years later the husband she’s been hiding from finds her and informs her that the daughter she thought was dead is still alive. The only way to discover the truth is go back to the peaceful Amish community she left, to return to the covered bridges of her childhood. Only by facing down the murderer who destroyed her family will Hannah be able to find peace—and eventually love.
“This page-turner pulls you in right from the start. The fast-paced, engaging story and vivid scenes and characters are not to be missed. It also includes some interesting background information on Amish quilts.”
