“I’m what?” “You
heard me, Abby. Now hurry up and put this dress over your head before we miss
our bus.” Lizzie Barlow stood her ground. She could feel no sympathy for her
daughter at the moment. They had to get on that bus to Indiana, and there was
no time for the temper-tantrums of a ten-year-old to complicate their already
life-threatening situation. “I’m not Amish! You take that back!” Lizzie pursed
her lips. “Actually, Abby, you are Amish because I’m Amish.”
Genre: Amish Fiction
Target Audience: Girls 17-20

Summary: Lizzie Barlow was once Amish,
but when an Englischer, Eddie, steals her innocence, she runs away from him,
her family, and the guy she always loved. Ten years later, with Abby, her
ten-year-old daughter, Lizzie runs away from Eddie again – but this time to her
family and the Amish life she left before. Will her family understand? Is it
even OK to come back after all these years?
