The Confession… An Amish love story

April 16th, 2024

Secrets, Scandals and Plot-twisting Surprises

Katie Lapp’s parents have been keeping a secret. When Katie learns the truth, she heads to New York to find her birth mother—a wealthy woman who is battling a life-threatening illness and who aches for her long-lost daughter. What follows is a brilliant love story full of music, mystery and mistaken identities. If you haven’t seen it, don’t miss it—and if you have, fall in love all over again.

This hit romance from  Blue Gate Musicals was written by Martha Bolton, with original songs by Wally Nason, adapted from the “Heritage of Lancaster County” novels by Beverly Lewis, known for her Amish love stories.

Will mother and daughter reunite? Will a gold-digging husband stand in the way? And who is the young man who shows up in New York asking for Katie?
