The car crash leaves no survivors. Somehow, Dani gets through the funerals and visits, accepting neighbors' sympathy and dropped-off meals. All the while, guilt and grief make her wish the accident had claimed her life too. Then a call comes from Lydia Schlabach, an Amish woman Dani befriended in childhood. In addition to condolences, Lydia offers Dani something more: a place to escape to. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Pennsylvania's Amish country, Dani's days take on a new rhythm, marked by the clip-clop of buggies and the bustle of chores.

And with the help of friendships old and new, Dani learns about the ways life continues to surprise us--even after the deepest loss--with joy, love, and second chances. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003ePortrait of a Sister\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Laura Bradford is a master storyteller; this book will stay with you for a long, long time.\" --\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Tasha Alexander\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \"A charming, well-told story of love and devotion between sisters.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Rachel Hauck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kensington Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496725950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Laura Bradford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36654343717020,"sku":"9781496725950","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ab556c74-a2be-476f-9ea5-17ed4350e17f.jpg?v=1603883193","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/piece-by-piece-9781496725950","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
