Book Reviews of The Outsider

Book Review: A Great Read!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Rachal Yoder (strong-willed, independent, God-fearing, "tom-boyish" but yet all-woman) is a widow of the Plain People (Amish) that settled in Montana. Still grieving for her husband that was mistakenly hung (so the towns people say) for cattle stealing, Rachal is trying to make a go of it on their sheep farm for their 10 yr. old son's sake. It is understood that to remarry it must be with someone in their community- and there are several men (other widowers) interested... But Rachal and Ben had had a special love that was not experienced by many of their belief and Rachal is not ready to settle for less.

Johnny Cain (tough, independent, loner, worldly, unbeliever, never been married and has no plans to) is a hired gunsman that wonders onto Rachal's property one day half dead after being in a gun fight. Fortunate that Rachal is not the type to turn her head and let him die, Johnny is nursed back to help, while experiencing feelings that he never knew existed- such as acceptance, caring, concern, and possibly love.

The Plains people community are stirred with an outsider being taken in causing concern and friction between Rachal and their deacons. In the meantime, there is a battle going on amongst the Towns people's cattle ranches and the Plain people's sheep farms that could get serious and possibly even deadly. WARNING! Don't jump ahead to the back to read the ending- it's a real "tear-jerker." A definite recommended read! A keeper!
