Abandoned Prayers (1990)
“When Stutzman arrived at the sizable dairy operation in hilly, northeastern Wayne County, he was a young Amishman who seemed unsure of himself, as though he had had few dealings with the outside world.
When Ed Stoll’s wife, Bonnie, first saw Eli Stutzman, her heart went out to the small-framed young man. When he came to the door—his face partly shielded by a wide black felt hat—she knew instantly that he was from a low Amish group. His skin was pale, almost chalky. The blue of his eyes seemed t...o be the only color on his body.
She had heard that he’d had a rough time with his father, who had thrown him out and put him under the bann for owning a radio.
“ ‘You!’ ” Stutzman said his father had screamed at him. “ ‘You are out! You are no longer my son!’ ” Bonnie Stoll had also heard the story of the skinned cat.
Stutzman kept unusual company for an Amishman who had just left the Order. One of his closest friends was Jim Taylor, a deputy sheriff with the Wayne County sheriff’s office.MoreLess
