" Another book club pick. This book was much better than I expected it be based on the "NOW A LIFETIME MOVIE!" on the cover. It's a non-melodramatic, sort of sociological look at the 2006 school shooting that targeted an Old Order Amish one-room schoolhouse in Pennsylvania and the Amish community's response. The retelling of the actual shooting was not overly horrifying to read (I have become SO sensitive to portrayals of harm coming to children since becoming a parent but this was not super graphic) and the exploration of what the Amish believe about forgiveness, the world around them, their own community, etc was interesting and balanced and thoughtful.
