Leah's Letter(2012)

Sarah Price

In Amish Circle Letters, follow the journey of a series of letters that pass through the Fisher family. As Amish do not use computers or cell phones to communicate, Amish women will often write circle letters, letters that they send to a list of addresses of people that they would like to include in the correspondence. Since they do not have access to photocopiers, the first person on the list will receive the letter, read it, and respond. That person sends both the first letter and their response to the second name on the list. This continues until the entire package of letters goes full-circle, returning to the original sender.

In Volume 3 of the 10 part series, Leah's Letter, the community is trying to adjust to the lose of Menno Yoder's wife and Mary Ruth finds herself the unwilling housekeeper at his farm until he gets back on his feet. Unfortunately, Menno Yoder fights her presence, creating conflict for both of them. Meanwhile, after a strange phone call, Steve finds himself back at the hardware store where Mimi Hostetler works and Anna Fischer receives a surprise visit from their Englische friend, Eleanor Haile who has a special request that excites little Katie.
