The ending was strange...
From reading other comments, will there be a sequel to this movie? Katie is in the Limo and the old boyfriend sees her. It looks unfinished.
shareI hope there will be another movie. I just can't believe she left the Amish community just like that. Her (adoptive)parents and everything she was raised to believe in. I want to see what happens next. They can't just leave the viewers hanging like that. I'm sure it will be at least a year or more before we ever see another possible one though. :(

For that house I would leave too!! Lol but yeah the ending sucked! I wonder If they even have a plan to make another movie to really give it a proper ending. Who would you have her end up with though?
shareWell, there is the whole 'being shunned' thing. She can't go back to the Amish community, which is why she was working in the restaurant and looking for her birth mother.
shareThere will be another movie. It is based on a trilogy of books by Beverly Lewis. If you are anxious to find out the ending, you should check out the books. They are much better! :)
shareI was just going to say that! This movie was based on book 2. The books are: The Shunning, The Confession and The Reckoning. If you read book 1, you'll understand her leaving the Amish community like she did. Read book 3 to see what happens!
shareOk just figured that out today thanks for letting me know I am watching The Shunning now, it's just taking me a min. to get used to a different Katie Lapp. And after being shunned heck yeah I would take the new house and money and run.
sharethey have to make the last book into a movie - esp since the love of her life Daniel Fisher is alive; Katie adored him and grieved for him so much....
I hope their will be another movie to end it properly. The book I think is titled The Reckoning; I want Katie to have her happy ending w/Daniel, bc they are the love of each others lives. I loved the scenes b/w Daniel and Katie in The Shunning, they were so sweet and innocent but in love. She deep down never thought he died in The Shunning, and it was true because she felt it in her heart.
Found this article - at the very end it says that they are making The Reckoning into a movie; Hallmark will be the network it will be on.

I want Katie and Danny to get together too, but I need him to suffer...a lot... first.
At least the movie has him saying he longed for her and thinking of her got him through his tour of Duty. From what I recall in the book (correct me if I'm wrong), he was much less concerned/attached. He had more of a lingering fondness/memory of her.
But he still needs to suffer in the movie before she takes him back (I can't remember if she did or not in the book) because I hate stories where men assume she's still available, sitting around waiting on him. She was, but she's just starting to get over that hump. What if she were married already? That just always peeves me in romance stories that he would arrogantly assume.
