The Hate You Give

2018, F.O. Jones

4.5/5

Inspired by the incredible true story of one Amish family determined to survive-and to reunite-The Hate You Give is a tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds. A hopeful and inspiring read that's great to give this holiday season.It is the winter of 2006 and seven generations of the Amish family are doing their best to live normal lives, even after a shooting occurred at the West Nickel Mines School in the old order amish community of Nickel Mines, a village in Bart Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The talk around the family seder table is of budding romance and new babies, not of the recent shooting threatening Amish in thier hometown. But soon the horrors of hate crimes overtaking America will become inescapable and the Byler Amish family will be flung to far corners of New Wilmington, each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety, while others struggle to escape certain deaths. Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the fear that they may not see one another again, the Bylers must rely on ingenuity, hope and inner strength to persevere.
