''Amish Grace'' is a television film that premiered on the Lifetime Movie Network on Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010. The movie is based on the 2006 Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, West Nickel Mines School shooting and the spirit of forgiveness the Amish community demonstrated in its aftermath. The movie stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Tammy Blanchard, and Matt Letscher and is based on the book ''Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy'', Jossey-Bass, 2007, ISBN 0-7879-9761-7, by Donald Kraybill, Steven Nolt, and David L. Weaver-Zercher. ''Amish Grace'' was executive-produced by Larry A. Thompson; written by Sylvie White and Teena Booth; and directed by Gregg Champion. ==Plot== When a group of Amish schoolgirls are taken hostage and killed in their classroom, their parents and the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, stun the outside world by immediately forgiving the killer. Ida Graber (Kimberly Williams-Paisley), mother of one of the murdered children, has a tougher time than the others accepting the tragedy, but in her anguish and pain, she begins a personal journey of renewed faith, ultimately accepting the heart-wrenching tragedy of losing a child after learning that her murdered daughter, Mary Beth Graber, had promised to pray for the perpetrator before her death; reconnecting with her husband (Matt Letscher), family, and community; offering forgiveness to the killer; and even showing kindness and compassion to the killer’s widow (Tammy Blanchard) and children – all in the form of Amish Grace. The film implies that Charles Roberts' motive was that when his daughter died the day she was born he decided to "get revenge on God" by taking ''his'' girls. In memory of the victims of the West Nickel Mines School shooting 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amish Grace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
