The Wish is a compelling story of friendship from Beverly Lewis, the top author in Amish fiction. When Gloria Gingerich and her family move to Lancaster County, Leona Speicher gets the “sister” she’d always dreamed of. The Arkansas newcomers seem to be the answer to Leona’s prayers—until Gloria’s father is expelled from their Old Order Amish church for reasons no one will discuss. Much to Leona’s dismay, the Gingeriches suddenly pack up and disappear. Then, after a silence of several years, Gloria unexpectedly contacts Leona, who makes up her mind to go after her friend. Yet Leona’s fiancé—the deacon’s son—is alarmed. Will Leona’s dearest wish lead to her own undoing?
