- Synopsis
- [From the back cover:] "Rachel at seven years of age meets her Amish grandparents, Ellie and David Eash, for the first time. She is the youngest child of Mennonite missionary parents, Rebecca and James Miller. A close bond forms between Rachel and Grandma Ellie. During the next ten years, she often visits in the home of these grandparents and spends several summers helping them. Share Rachel's exciting experiences with her Amish cousins and relatives, with good fun and teasing. She grows to love the quiet Amish way of life and the sharing and caring of the extended family. See how Ellie and David gently lead Rachel toward maturity, through sharing stories and their love for Scripture. Rachel goes along to Amish church meetings, takes part in youth singings, and is courted by Amish boyfriend Norman. Eventually Rachel is faced with choosing between her Mennonite upbringing and the Amish lifestyle and faith. Will she be able to accept Amish instruction, baptism, and membership? Would being "sureenough Amish" give her a sense of peace?" Look for the books in the Ellie's series in the Bookshare Library including #1. Ellie, #2. Rebecca, #4. Daniel, #5 Reuben, #6. Andy, #7 Polly, #8. Sarah and #9. Mandy.
