from the library book sale

The author describes his rambling years from age 16 to 26, when he left his old order Amish community three times, before finally leaving it for good. He tried moving to different communities, where the rules differ, truly joining the Amish church - and leaving, and going back, and finally leaving for good at the end of the book. Although the book is about the Amish culture, I think his struggles are universal. It's really all about what do you want to do in life and where do you fit in.

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it. Then, when you are ready, pass it along for someone else to enjoy! Thanks and happy reading!

Selected from the G ring. Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!

An interesting read about a community that I was not all that familiar with. Definitely provided some insight and was a pretty decent read. My plan is to get this book moving so that others can read it versus letting it sit around for too long.

To keep this book moving, I'm shipping it to Pasadena, CA via BookMooch.com. Enjoy!
