The Orchard

In The Orchard, bestselling author Beverly Lewis returns to Lancaster County with a heartfelt story of faith, family, and unexpected change. Ellie Hostetler has always known her place within her Old Order Amish family’s orchard, a tradition her twin brother Evan is meant to carry forward. But when Evan is drafted during the Vietnam War and chooses not to seek conscientious objector status, the family’s beliefs in non-resistance are shaken. The distant conflict suddenly feels painfully close, altering the course of their lives.

As Ellie wrestles with disappointment and uncertainty, she finds comfort working alongside Sol Bontrager, a conscientious objector whose steady faith contrasts sharply with her brother’s decision. Though Ellie is drawn to her beau, Menno, her connection to Sol deepens as they share long days in the orchard. With her world quietly shifting beneath her feet, Ellie must find the courage to face a future far different from the one she once imagined.
