 Somewhere to Belong (Daughters of Amana)

                           by

This is a new faith to me, I had never heard of it until I started reading this book. I thought it sounded like a cult at first until they started talking about Jesus and then I knew that it was a community as the Amish, but believed different.

A story of two very different girls, one of the girls is a young woman, the other a teenager Johanna Ilg has lived her whole life in Amana, but wants to see the outside world until a secret is revealed that changes everything about the world she thought she knew. She must confront her family and find out the answers to her questions. Will she break her mother's heart to seek these answers?

Berta Schumacher has lived a privileged life in Chicago before being moved to Amana by her parents. Berta does not share this desire to live such a life as her family and she makes that clear as she rebels against the ways of Amana and its people. Will her heart ever soften to the ways of these plain people or will she continue to live a life of rebellion and discontent?

Judith Miller has done an excellent job with this book.
