In this futuristic chilling novel we are introduced to Ellie and John Zimmerman, a dedicated Christian couple from the small town of Bird-in-Hand Pennsylvania. Ellie is home schooling their eight year old son, Peter and she is going to take him on a field trip to Washington,DC. What unfolds on this trip will be a nightmare for the two of them and the start of a horrifying fight for their lives even after they return to quiet Bird-in-Hand.
As Ellie and Peter arrive in DC they are alarmed to find UN troops patrolling the streets. Ellie is terrified when she is stopped by the troops and ordered out of her van. When she is told she doesn’t have the proper paperwork she fears she will not allowed to enter DC. Thankfully the surly soldier gives her a temporary permit and lets her in with a warning she should not come back again without her paperwork being in order.
While Ellie and Peter are in line for a tour of the White House they meet a distinguished gentleman that takes a liking to Peter. Little does Ellie know this man will be the person that will rescue her and Peter from a horrible fate that will happen in a few hours after their meeting. He will also be the one to stop a wicked plot in Bird-in-Hand that has been launched against the very people that founded America…..CHRISTIANS.
When Ellie and Peter finally arrive back home John tells her of several Amish neighbors that have had mysterious accidents while out in their buggies. John feels he must help figure out what is going on and what he finds out could cost him his life. Could what happened to Ellie and Peter in DC be connected to what's happening in Bird-in-Hand?
Ms. Reinhardt has written a riveting story based on what I am sure most Christians have thought at one time or another; will we have to endure persecution before the End time? The America she portrays is very frightening. Armed UN troops in the streets and no one being able to travel from State to State without special permission or maybe not at all. It seems the freedoms our ancestors gave their lives for no longer exist. As frightening as it was to read this I found I was unable to put it down. This is Susan’s debut novel and it is simply wonderful. I can’t wait to read what comes next from the pen of this very talented author.
