Jonathan Wagler turned away from his community and his faith but quickly realized his error and returned to his Amish home. He knows that God has forgiven him but will he be accepted and restored to what he lost? This is a lovely retelling of the Prodigal Son. Forgiveness and repentance are not easy but passing judgment is a sin in itself. Emma sees the man before her and is able to leave his past where it belongs and accept his friendship. But others in the community are not so willing to forgive and forget. Jonathan sees beyond Emma’s pretty face and recognizes her hard work, love for others, and loyalty to her family. “He’d hook her but she needed someone who would catch her only to set her free to be who she was.” This short story has a strong message for us all. I especially loved Reuben’s kindness and the example he set for his daughter and his neighbors. The peaceful tone of this story is nice and I liked that Emma took the time to learn the truth, examine her heart, and know her mind.
