About this item
"In the lowly place of prayer, God can lift you up to the highest mountain." - Whinburg Township Amish proverb A Colorado dude ranch is the last place that homebody Amanda Yoder would believe God wants her. But the owners have once again hired a group of Amish young people for the summer, and despite her shyness and fear of change, Amanda feels led to go with them. Hannah Riehl has been living with her Amish family, recovering from the trauma of finding out she was kidnapped away from them as a child. But when a girl still has purple hair and a bit of an attitude, it's hard to decide which world to live in. In Colorado, maybe she'll be able to make up her mind - and heart - to learn the Amish ways for herself, or to leave them for an Englisch life.
