| Abstract |
Anna Hostetler, a 23-year-old painter, is expelled from the Lancaster County Amish community of Heaven, Pennsylvania. Her bishop puts her on a bus to Pittsburgh, “The Dark Side of Heaven,” with little money or direction. Anna is offered a place to stay in Verona by Brandy, another passenger. The new household is flagrantly dysfunctional, however, and Anna struggles to improve her living situation, to adapt to “English ways,” and to pursue her goal of a career in the visual arts.

| Author Biography |
Tamar Myers (1948— ), born and raised by Mennonite missionary parents in the Belgian Congo, arrived in the United States at age 16. As a college student she began to submit novel manuscripts for publication; 23 years later Too Many Crooks, her first, was published by Doubleday. Her other mystery series takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she now lives with her husband and pets. “She and her husband are of the Jewish faith,” says the HarperCollins author web page, “the animals are not.”
