The Shunning Review & Giveaway
I love Beverly Lewis’ books. I’ve read quite a few of them. She has a great way of writing about the Amish, making you feel as if your right there with them. And a movie based on one of her books? Even better!
The Shunning was originally shown on the Hallmark Channel, but is now available on DVD. You can also follow The Shunning Movie on Facebook.
The Shunning is Dove Approved!
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.
BEVERLY LEWIS – Author of “The Shunning”
Beverly Lewis, born in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, is The New York Times bestselling author of more than eighty books. Her stories have been published in eleven languages worldwide. A keen interest in her mother’s Plain heritage has inspired Lewis to write many Amish-related novels, beginning with “The Shunning,” which has sold more than one million copies. In 2007, Lewis’ “The Brethren” was honored with a Christy Award.
Lewis has been interviewed by both national and international media, including Time magazine, the Associated Press, and the BBC. Lewis lives with her husband, David, in Colorado.
You can read an interview with Beverly Lewis about The Shunning.
I watched The Shunning with my daughter who also loves books and movies about the Amish. We both enjoyed watching this movie.
The Shunning did not disappoint. Until the end.
When the credits started to roll, I said, “What?!” I looked at my daughter and she looked at me. I said “That can’t be the end!” And she said, “That’s not right!”
We didn’t want the movie to end! We were so drawn into the movie that it didn’t feel like it had been on that long. It needed to be longer. lol
Even though the move was already shown on the Hallmark Channel, I don’t want to give away the ending in case you haven’t seen it.
You really need to watch this movie! So, how would you like to win one?
