A Plain Leaving

In "Jessica's Journey," Leslie Gould introduces a poignant tale set in the serene backdrop of Lancaster County, where 20-year-old Jessica Bachman returns home after three years away to attend her father's funeral. Torn between her past and present, Jessica grapples with her emotions and unresolved feelings for Silas Kemp, the man she left behind. As she navigates her family's legacy and reflects on a Revolutionary War-era ancestor whose experiences mirror her own, Jessica must decide if she will reconnect with her roots or embrace a new path away from her community.
