Author Holly Payne visited the Youth Intervention Center on June 3rd to discuss the release of her latest book Kingdom of Simplicity on June 6th. As a former local of Lancaster County, she discussed her inspiration and the events in her life that led to this Amish story of forgiveness.
The bookmobile now has two copies of this fascinating novel and two more copies have been added to the Youth Intervention Center's library!
During the program, Holly shared a letter with the residents from a tragic past experience. She added that the letter and the writing of this novel led to her understanding of forgiveness. After passing around paper and pencils, the residents wrote adventure letters to their role models, and many of them shared! It was a very exciting program and the residents had many excited questions for the author. The evening ended, of course, with several autographs! :)
Thank you, Holly, for a fantastic visit!
