Rachel

Rachel Miller's parents left the Amish church before Rachel was born, but now Rachel wants to become Amish. She likes their quiet, unhurried way of life, and she feels like she belongs when she spends summers with her Amish grandparents and goes to church with her cousins. Should she listen to her parents and siblings and friends, who think she should drop her dream to become Amish once and for all? Or should she listen to the tug inside her heart?
The books of the Ellie's People series, beloved classics among young and old readers in Amish and Mennonite communities, are now available for today's reader. Author Mary Christner Borntrager grew up Amish and based her novels on events and experiences from her childhood. Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series will love the spunky main characters and old-fashioned communities of the Ellie's People series.
