they build another little doddy house onto the main house, and they take care of them. “They don't put their elderly people in nursing homes. “They also embrace wholly the aspect of community in every way,” Lewis added.
“ are families who sit down three squares a day, at the table, they look at each other, and they talk to each other. And also to inspire people who feel like their family is fragmented, and their kids are sitting around the table with their phones,” Lewis said. “And so The Shunning and The Confession, those two books were actually good fodder, I think, for making a musical to show the boundaries but the forgiveness and the redemption offered by the Lord. The Amish community is focused on faith, family and tradition, Lewis said. “I think that's, in a way, kind of curious and educational, but it's also inspiring because so much of our society is not boundary ridden – it's kind of just do whatever feels good,” Lewis told Christian Headlines. Many Americans, she said, are amazed that there are “people living in the 21st century who are still adhering to how they functioned 300 years ago.”
Lewis believes that 21st-century modern society could learn a lot from the Amish. She is best known for her Amish-themed fiction. She followed that with a 24-book series for children, The Cul-de-Sac Kids. Lewis has written over 100 adult and children’s books during her career, which began in the early 1990s with the publication of Holly's First Love, the first in a 14-book series for pre-teen girls. “Boy, did it turn out great,” Lewis said of the musical.
