In Pontotoc, Mississippi, the Amish way means a chance to rebuild, renew, and rekindle a love from long ago . . . Fifteen years. That's how long it's been since Hannah McLean set foot in the Amish community where she was raised. Through it all her heart has never forgotten Pontotoc - or Aaron Zook, her first love. Now widowed, and left with little more than her hurting teenager and her prayers, she returns home, even knowing she and her son may be turned away. When Aaron learns Hannah has returned, he nearly falls to his knees. He's a strong man, but lately the care of his three motherless children and family land have been more than he can handle. Now providence has delivered the first woman he loved, and with her, the rush of feelings they once shared.

DIG THE DRY ZONE
By Byrne, Richard

As the group battles their addictions, they're faced with love and divorce, life and death, and the overall struggle to believe.

About the Author Richard Byrne holds a degree in Community Development and has worked in Northern Ireland for a number of years. He developed his story based on a similar process he undertook to help recovering addicts through song and hymns.
