When I was asked to review "The Shunning" by Beverly Lewis I was very interested. I had heard that Beverly Lewis was an incredible author of family friendly books for years, though I had never actually read any of her work. I can tell you after watching "The Shunning" I am going to get some of her books.This is an amazing story of love and family. It is filmed beautifully, acting is superb, and the story line is perfect for every member of the family. I have to admit there were parts that made me cry.
