Readers will delight in this heartfelt novel by bestselling author Jerry Eicher, a former Amishman, who writes with authenticity and compassion about the people he grew up with.

When Susan Hostetler has a falling out with her boyfriend, Thomas Stoll, she leaves her Amish community and moves to Asbury Park to experiment in English life. There she learns to drive a car, takes her GED test, and falls in love with young and handsome Duane Bower. Back home, her parents are devastated and miss their daughter terribly. But what can they do? Susan has a mind of her own.

Just as Susan is enjoying her new life, her plans are interrupted. She meets Teresa Long, a young, unwed, expectant mother who asks Susan to help her have her baby adopted by an Amish family. As Susan is drawn into the young woman's life, she also finds herself drawn back to her Amish roots. But can she truly leave her life behind...and Duane?

      Following an argument with her suitor, Susan Hostetler leaves her Amish community before becoming baptized to try out life as an Englisher. Her journey takes her to New Jersey, where she takes the high school equivalency test, learns to drive a car, and meets a handsome young man. But when pregnant, unmarried Teresa Long asks for Susan's help in finding an Amish family to adopt her baby, Susan begins to question her new, modern life. VERDICT Best-selling author Eicher (Ella Finds Love Again) writes homespun stories with relaxed pacing. Having grown up in the Amish church, he intimately knows the world he so vividly depicts. Fans of Mary Ellis, Lisa Wingate, and Suzanne Woods Fisher will want to sample this new series.
