Description
In this candid memoir, Ira Wagler recounts his childhood in an Old Order Amish community and the traditions, discipline, and close-knit family life that shaped him. As he comes of age, he confronts the tensions between belonging and independence during the Amish period of exploration known as Rumspringa. With honesty and warmth, the book offers an intimate look at Amish faith, culture, education, work, and family relationships while reflecting on the difficult choices that define identity and adulthood. Wagler’s engaging storytelling provides a thoughtful, personal perspective on a secluded way of life and the universal search for purpose and freedom.
