MY REVIEW:
In An Amish Family Reunion, Julia Miller is missing her houseful of kids. Most of them are grown and gone with their own families. They have even moved far away making it hard for her to visit her kids and grandkids. So Julia decides to remedy the situation and plan a big family reunion. A family reunion that will be 2 weeks long.
Over the course of the summer, you get to meet Julia’s children and families while everyone is planning for the reunion.
You will step into their lives, see how they live, learn more about their families and their faith.
An Amish Family Reunion is a great story of faith, family and the ties that bind everyone together.
