The Shunning dvd

Katie Lapp, is preparing to marry the widowed bishop, John Beiler, and become a mother to his sons. Yet  her desire to play her guitar and sing songs that are not part of her Amish upbringing leave her feeling restless and uncertain of who she really is. When an "English" woman arrives, searching for Katie's mom, long-held secrets come to the surface.

Laura Mayfield-Bennett is ill, and wants to see the daughter she never knew.  When Katie discovers she's adopted, it only increases the confusion she feels and sparks the quest to explore what might have been. Her rebellion causes the community to shun Katie until she is prepared to repent.

This is a story that has a few too many coincidences for my taste, but still one that I followed with great interest. Consequence of actions, regrets, rebellion, and restoration are all covered and you get glimpses of another point of view. Great acting, and the film did capture my attention and keep it from beginning to end. This film is based on the book by Beverly Lewis.
