description
n-year-old Linda Stoltzfoos
of Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, was kidnapped and later murdered
by Justo Smoker-a member of our family. This book is our attempt to share our story of grief, anger, and pain
but also of unexplainable grace, kindness, and mercy at the hands
of the Amish community-of which Linda Stoltzfoos was a part.
We hope that in sharing our story you can experience what it's like
when undeserved mercy confronts undeniable evil,
when kindness upends condemnation,
when heaven engages hell.
