Read more What Inspired the Story During an autumn vacation in New Hampshire, I became captivated by the historical aspects of the stone walls of the northeast. And an idea began to simmer, as I was drawn like a magnet to the idea that an old boundary wall might serve as a compelling metaphor for a forbidden love. From that seedling idea, Anna Beachy's story journey began to swell in my heartand her determination to solve the decades-old mystery of her own courting-age grandmother and an Old Order Amish boyfriend. The secret meeting place? A stone wall in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, deep in the heart of Amish farmland.

There is something wonderful about the composition of the old wall situated against the treed backdrop (503 Twin Elm Road) that was ideal for one of the important scenes in the novel. Another stand-out in the novel is my protagonist, Anna Beachy's work as a volunteer at an Amish-owned horse therapy retreat. There, Amish and Mennonite children with special needs are helped with balance and muscle coordination, and they learn to trust and have greater confidence. I'm over the moon about this subplot after spending time at a real-life Amish-run horse therapy retreat last October near Strasburg, PA. I took this photo at the Tschantz Graveyard (1733), the burial ground for several of Lancaster, Pennsylvania's very first settlers. This historic cemetery and stone walls are located at 2100 Pequea Lane, along the Pequea Creek. I was especially curious about the loosely-stacked stones in the old boundary walls, the inspiration for the beautiful cover of my novel, The Stone Wall. Read more
