Blood of the Prodigal by P. L . Gaus

Ten-year-old Jeremiah Miller has disappeared. His bishop grandfather and grandmother, who have raised him since a baby, want the boy's father found but don't want to go to the authorities whom they don't trust. Grandfather Eli goes to an Englisher he trusts and asks him to help find Jonah, his son, who was banned ten years earlier. This book gives a good example of how the Amish community thinks and works and what we, as Englishers, might want to remember when meeting someone from the Amish community. This reader found the fictional tale, An Ohio Amish Mystery, very interesting and was sympathetic to the characters. Recommend. Sandy Penton
