Daughter's Truth
Daughter's Truth | Laura Bradford
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Emma Lapp tries to be the perfect daughter, to earn the loving embrace of her family and her Amish community in Pennsylvania. Yet she can't quite win her mother's smile--or her forgiveness for a transgression Emma can't quite place . . . Emma knows she's a reminder of her mother's greatest sorrow, having been born on the same day Mamm lost her beloved sister. The one bright spot has been the odd trinkets anonymously left at her aunt's grave each year on Emma's birthday--gifts Emma secretly hides because they upset her parents. But the day she turns 22, a locket bears a surprise that sends her on an unexpected journey . . . Searching for answers, Emma travels to the English world and finds a kinship as intriguing as it is forbidden. But is this newfound connection enough to leave behind the future she'd expected? The answers are as mysterious, and as devastating, as the truth that divides Emma from the only family, and the only life, she's ever known . . . Praise for Portrait of a Sister "Laura Bradford is a master storyteller; this book will stay with you for a long, long time."--New York Times bestselling author, Tasha Alexander "A charming, well-told story of love and devotion between sisters."--New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck "Kudos to Bradford for a complex and compelling story about faith, family, and love."--Sally Kilpatrick, author of Bless Her Heart "A gentle and engaging tale, a lovely escape." --USA Today bestselling author Susan McBride

Daughter's Truth | Laura Bradford

Young Emma Lapp is turning 22, but she has never had a celebratory birthday because she was born the same day her Mam‘s beloved sister died. As a child she discovered little trinkets left on her aunt‘s grave, keeping them a secret. This year‘s trinket leads her to uncover family secrets & a life outside her Amish community. It‘s the kind of book that begs to be read sitting on a front porch with a cool glass of lemonade on a quiet summer evening.
