And she wastes no time in rebelling against everything her adoptive parents taught her, packing her bags and going on the road to find her biological mother. Suddenly her internal conflicts with the Amish lifestyle begin to make sense. Things begin to make sense to Katie when she realizes that she was actually adopted. Her ideas and attitudes often clash with the conservative ideals of her community and it doesn’t help that Daniel, her first love died, leaving her feeling even more alone. However, in The Shunning it is clear that Katie doesn’t feel like she belongs. She went to church on a regular basis and, for the most part, lived a traditional Amish life. Her parents taught her their faith from the moment she could understand. Katie grew up in a close Amish community. When Katie is first introduced in The Shunning, the first book in the series, she is 22-years-old and she doesn’t feel at home in Hickory Hollow, Pennsylvania. ![]()
