Whimsy, mystery, spirituality and the holy ordinariness of daily life mingle together in this delightful collection of short stories.

'Poignant, humorous, winsome, and wise, this is Bill doing what he does best–going before us, shining the Light.' Philip Gulley, author of the Harmony series

Amity: Stories from the Heartland is a collection of short stories by well-known Quaker writer Brent Bill. Each story is set in the Midwest of the United States, a region known for its honest, hardworking, plain-speaking, religious people who are as complex and thoughtful as the most urbane city dwellers. These stories are about 1930s housewives, modern day priests, 1960s kids, and more -- as well as the varieties and vagaries of their lives' trials, triumphs, failings, joys, sorrows, and surviving -- and the beauty and mystery of it all.
