説明
Raised by the Fellowship of the Brethren, Abigail Hoffman is forced to shun the material comforts of the modern world and live in a tight-knit society of extremes where sin and imperfections are not tolerated. Overnight Abby's world is shattered---she is suddenly torn between her community and twenty-first century American culture when she falls in love with an outsider to the Brethren. One night's passionate encounter leaves her pregnant and alone, forcing her to deal with the consequences of her sins when she is deserted by her lover and disowned by the Brethren. Beautifully written, "The Tamarisk Tree" is the story of one courageous woman's struggle for peace and acceptance. Filled with vivid imagery and intricate detail, "The Tamarisk Tree" is a must read.
