Why An Amish Soap Opera?
Hello, I’m author Roberts Ellyn and WELCOME to my “online internet soap opera”. I hope everyone who happens to find this blog on the internet will return on a regular basis to read the daily installments every week day. There is quite a cast of characters, each quirky and yet endearing.
I got the idea to start an online soap opera one night after watching the movie Witness. For those of you who have never seen the movie or you have seen it but have forgotton the story line, here is a short synopsis:
When a young Amish woman and her son get caught up in the murder of an undercover narcotics agent, their savior turns out to be hardened Philadelphia detective John Book. Harrison Ford is sensational as Book, the cop who turns head-on into the non-violent world of the Pennsylvania Amish community. The end result is an action packed struggle of life and death, interwoven with a sensitive undercurrent of caring and forbidden love. Written by Robert Lynch
When the movie ended I found myself wondering what would happen if a single woman from the city suddenly bumped into an Amish community too. This Amish Soap is my way of finding out the answer to that question!
I hope my soap opera causes lots of discussions over the office water cooler.
