The two feminine protagonists, Michelle and Sara, have lived prior to the opening pages of The Forgiving Jar lives vastly different from the Amish whose community they have now embedded themselves. They are lying, deceitful, spiteful, and a host of other unpleasant characteristics that really made me dislike them.
As they go about living within the confines of the grandparent's Amish home and associating in church, work, and social events with the Amish they see and envy the peace that these dear folks have.
There are sweet romances in the story and there are times of sorrow. The need for and act of forgiveness are uppermost in this read. Ms. Brunstetter has penned another story that her followers will love.
