Previously, I had read The Outsider by this author and thought this book, The Believer, was a sequel. While they are similar in place and time, they are not necessarily related in story. This book tells of three children who, due to unpleasant circumstances, are faced with harsh choices. These choices lead them to the local Shaker community. They experience life as a Shaker - both positive and negative - and, as we all are, are faced with new challenges and choices. Elizabeth is the oldest sibling and most of the story revolves around her. I thoroughly enjoyed it. For me it was thought-provoking, and caused me to remember why I believe as I do.
