The Crimson Dress: An Amish Retelling of The Scarlet Letter Kindle Edition
My Amish community has placed on me the strictest Bann they've ever enacted. It is something they felt they must do to deter others from engaging in the same sinful behavior as me.
The leaders have one request from me - that I name my child's vatter. But I refuse to confess. I will never reveal my child's father's identity. Because of my rebellion, I am required to wear a dress of our community's verboten color, and I must live a life of isolation apart from my loved ones. Everyone is warned to avoid me, the woman in the crimson dress, lest they become tainted with sin my too.
I'm saddened they feel the need to punish me. But I am not alone. I have my boppli, after all. As far as my boppli's vatter goes, his identity must never ever be revealed.
It is a secret I will take to my grave.
An intriguing Amish take on The Scarlet Letter!

This is a unique book because it is shared in the first person.
Ruby, our main character and storyteller, finds herself under a strict Bann because she will not reveal the name of her child’s father.
The storyline is so unusual for an Amish story but so realistic, you find yourself fully drawn into the story from the beginning. All characters are portrayed accurately and as you read, you believe the actions are really happening. The end is totally unpredictable.
The book is short, you could read it in one sitting, but so interesting you wish it would continue.
I highly recommend this 5-star read.
I was given an ARC by the author, but was not required to give a review.
I received a complimentary copy from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
