Growing Up AmishGrowing Up Amish by Ira Wagler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

     Ira Wagler writes a memoir detailing an Amish way of Life. In it, he tells his story of growing up in the Amish community and church. We find out he has a difficult time staying knowing there is a different kind of world outside of it. Long hours of hard work, dedication and regulations are what is required to be Amish. Several times he leaves and rejoins the community. Unfortunately heartbreaks and broken ties occur but Ira, with a clear mind, eventually finds a a life with an unknown future that he can claim for his own, which includes God and for him means - "unchanging and always there."
