The Shunning Review and Giveaway



Beverly Lewis' The Shunning - About the Movie
Before she succumbs to cancer, the dying wish of Laura Mayfield-Bennett is to be reunited with the daughter she never knew. Unfortunately, that daughter, Katie Lapp, is a member of the Amish order. Katie is about to be married, but uneasy about the path ahead.  Now she discovers the secret her parents have kept from her: she's adopted. 
The film is based on the celebrated first novel of the best-selling "The Heritage of Lancaster County" book series from author Beverly Lewis. Stars Danielle Panabaker & Sherry Stringfield.





I've actually read most of this book, but I didn't finish it.

I guess I just got too busy, or I needed to read a review book or something.

Anyhow, as one who has read the book first, I found the movie to be lacking a little.

I feel like the movie did not go into enough detail, but I still really liked it. I definitely want to see the next movie in the series.

I think I am gonna have to go get the book so that I don't have to wait and see what happens. lol

I've only read one BL series: Annie's People. I really enjoyed it. This movie looks very interesting.
