Summary

Based on a true story and written as a response to a drunk driver who asked for her forgiveness, Holly Payne's KINGDOM OF SIMPLICITY offers a detailed portrait of the Pennsylvania Amish, whose practice of forgiveness inspired this story about Eli Yoder, a misguided Amish youth, who leaves home during rumspringa, the time of running around for Amish youth before they accept their faith. A surprising friendship in the Outside World teaches Eli how to laugh again and come to terms with the tragic events of his past.
