Goodreads asked Jaclyn Gilbert:

What are you currently working on?

Jaclyn Gilbert I am working on a novel set in the aftermath of Nickel Mines, a shooting that took place in an Amish Schoolhouse, just outside where I grew up in Lancaster, County. I am trying to give voice to the survivors--all of them young women--by looking at the reverberations of this trauma through multiple perspectives, including that of a suburban family, a geneticist who works and lives among the Amish, and the mother of one of the survivors of the shooting searching for self-forgiveness out of her community's rigid ideals around questions of faith, pacifism, and recovery.
