My aunt has asked me two questions and I can't seem to come up with the answers.

She asked which book details an Amish funeral, near the end of the book? I'm thinking Beth Wiseman's "The Daughters of the Promise series, but I could be wrong. Help me out?

Also which Amish story and author tells about the Amish woman who comes back into the faith after being shunned. She has to go through a confession in front of the entire congregation and admit her sin. Ideas anyone?

My aunt figured out that the book with the funeral was Levis Will by W. Dale Cramer but we didn't figure out the one with the confession. Is it Beverly Lewis' "The Confession"? That would be way to easy if it was!

Rachel Brand (pixieauthoress) Plain Paradise by Beth Wiseman definitely has a funeral in it, and I think the first book, Plain Perfect might as well.

I think it may be The Confession but it's been a while since I read it so I can't quite remember. Didn't Sadie also confess and come back to the faith in Beverly Lewis's 'Daughters of Abram' series? I think it may have been The Prodigal.

I'll check on The Prodigal. Thanks Rachel.

Now that I think about it, I don't think Sadie necessarily left the faith, I think she just moved to a different community after committing a sin that she never confessed, so when she finally returned she had to confess in order to be accepted.

Hope you figure it out!
