The Reckoning is the powerful conclusion to Beverly Lewis's Heritage of Lancaster County trilogy and arguably its most personally searching book. Katie has everything she dreamed of, yet something is missing. Something that no amount of wealth or independence can replace.
 
This is a story about what happens after you find yourself and discover that the self you found is more complicated than you expected. About the things we carry from the communities that shaped us even when we leave them behind. About faith that follows you out of the place where you first found it. And about the extraordinary courage it takes to choose the life that is genuinely yours even when it looks nothing like what you planned.
 
For any reader navigating the tension between who they were and who they are becoming, between the world they came from and the world they have chosen, Katie's reckoning speaks directly and profoundly to that experience.
