I have spent many summers at a lake cottage in an Indiana county where Amish are in abundance. I have curiously but discreetly watched them for many years. During this time I have made assumptions about their homes, beautiful gardens, work ethics, families...you name it! Reading Growing Up Amish was like being the "fly on the wall" and witnessing the family dynamics including a great tragedy. I found that I suffered with the author as he tried to remain Amish yet knew that he could not. I was awed by his determination to get an awesome education and thrilled as he found peace with his Maker! This book has it ALL! I highly anticipate his next book's release date!!
