Congratulations to Joanne Lehman '96, on the publishing of the second novel in her Christian trilogy, Susan's Hope. This book comes after the release of Leah's Faith last year, with the third book, Fannie's Love, set to publish next year. The three books explore topics such as growth and forgiveness in a fictional Amish community in Holmes county. Lehman's Mennonite faith deeply influences these stories, as well as her work with the Mental Health and Recovery Board during the 1990s and 2000s. You can purchase this book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or other platforms. Lehman will also be a part of a book signing featuring several authors at the Gospel Bookstore in Berlin on October 25th from 9am-1pm as well as the Buckeye Book Fair in Wooster on November 1st from 9:30am-4pm.
