"She realized there was peace right here in the midst of this
heavenly sort of place, despite the unpredictable storm churning
around her family." For generations, Ellie Hostetler's family has
tended their Lancaster County orchard, a tradition her twin
brother, Evan, will someday continue. Yet when Evan's draft number
is called up in the lottery for the Vietnam War, the family is
shocked to learn he has not sought conscientious objector status,
despite their Old Order Amish belief in non-resistance. The faraway
war that has caused so much turmoil and grief among their Englisher
neighbors threatens too close to home. As Evan departs for boot
camp, Ellie confides her disappointment to Sol Bontrager, the
brother of her best friend and cousin to her new beau, Menno. In
contrast to Evan, Sol is a conscientious objector. Despite Ellie's
attraction to Menno, she finds herself drawn to Sol's steady
presence as they work together in the orchard. Suddenly, it feels
as if everything in Ellie's world is shifting, and the plans she
held so dear seem increasingly uncertain. Can she and her family
find the courage to face a future unlike any they could have
imagined? "This [book] serves as a reminder of why Lewis continues
to top bestseller lists."--Publishers Weekly "The Orchard is a
peaceful, heartwarming romance novel set amid the quiet solitude of
an Amish family's orchard during the Vietnam War."--Foreword
