Description - A Daughter's Truth by Laura Bradford

Nationally bestselling author Laura Bradford's second story exploring the lives of Amish women in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania is a poignant novel about finding one's place in the world as one Amish woman begins to question what she thought she knew about her parents and a terrible secret threatens to rip her family apart. Drawing on their strong faith, can this family face the difficult road ahead?

Emma Lapp tries to be the perfect daughter, to earn the loving embrace of her family and her Amish community in Pennsylvania. Yet she can't quite win her mother's smile-or her forgiveness for a transgression Emma can't quite place . . .

Emma knows she's a reminder of her mother's greatest sorrow, having been born on the same day Mamm lost her beloved sister. The one bright spot has been the odd trinkets anonymously left at her aunt's grave each year on Emma's birthday-gifts Emma secretly hides because they upset her parents. But the day she turns 22, a locket bears a surprise that sends her on an unexpected journey . . .

Searching for answers, Emma travels to the English world and finds a kinship as intriguing as it is forbidden. But is this newfound connection enough to leave behind the future she'd expected? The answers are as mysterious, and as devastating, as the truth that divides Emma from the only family, and the only life, she's ever known . . .
