In the follow-up to Growing Up Amish, New York Times bestselling author Ira Wagler narrates his journey of forgiveness and reconciliation with his Amish family and heritage.
La scrittura di Ira Wagler approfondisce il profondo conflitto interiore di un individuo diviso tra le restrittive tradizioni di un'educazione Amish del Vecchio Ordine e il fascino del mondo esterno. La sua narrazione esplora la paura profondamente radicata della dannazione eterna associata all'abbandono della propria eredità, giustapposta al desiderio di libertà e alle vaste possibilità di una vita diversa. La prosa di Wagler offre uno sguardo avvincente sulla lotta per l'autodeterminazione e sul complesso viaggio alla ricerca del proprio vero percorso, segnato da ripetute partenze e ritorni prima di una rottura finale e decisiva.


In the follow-up to Growing Up Amish, New York Times bestselling author Ira Wagler narrates his journey of forgiveness and reconciliation with his Amish family and heritage.
Ira Wagler was born in 1961, the ninth of a Canadian Amish couple's eleven children. At seventeen, in the dark of night, he left the religious settlement, but it was only nine years later that he finally left the church for good. His favorite Bible verse is from Psalm 34: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." In this new memoir, he tells what it was like growing up Old World Amish and what it felt like leaving it for a strange new world. Far more than picturesque; Growing Up Amish conveys one man's heartfelt experience.
