The author has written this book about his friends who left modern society to become part of an Amish community for a number of years. It didn't start as something the family was doing, but after searching for a faith community that reflected their growing beliefs, that is where they ended up living. It wasn't all positive or easy, and this book is openly honest about that. I have read a good deal about the Amish communities in our country, so much of it wasn't a big surprise to me, but I did appreciate a different perspective. This book is an interesting read for anyone who has an interest in the Amish culture/religion or who would like to read of a family on a spiritual journey that led to many changes in their lives.
