Book Review: Levi's Will

Levi's Will is a modern-day Prodigal Son story with an Amish twist. Set in picturesque Holmes County in Ohio, the story paints the picture of the strained relationship between an Old Order Amishman--Levi--and the son who left his roots, only to return years later--Will. Author W. Dale Cramer penned excellent character sketches, not only of the main character, but the colorful array of people who create the Amish community in which they live. A tale of faith in God and the power of forgiveness, Levi's Will proves a good read.
