Amity

'P_oignant, humorous, winsome, and wise, this is Bill doing what he does best–going before us, shining the Light.'_ Philip Gulley, author of the Harmony series

Amity: Stories from the Heartland is a collection of short stories by well-known Quaker writer Brent Bill. Each story is set in the Midwest of the United States, a region known for its honest, hardworking, plain-speaking, religious people who are as complex and thoughtful as the most urbane city dwellers. These stories are about 1930s housewives, modern day priests, 1960s kids, and more -– as well as the varieties and vagaries of their lives' trials, triumphs, failings, joys, sorrows, and surviving -– and the beauty and mystery of it all.
