Summary:
Ellie Maust grows up Amish. She isn't happy with the strict ideas of her father. Why can't she wear bright dresses like her "English" friend, Missy? And face cream, perfume, and body powder like the hired girl, Susie Glick? As the oldest girl in her family, Ellie learns responsibility young. She helps care for the babies, milks cows, shells peas, bakes homemade bread, and sews her own cape, dress, and apron. Read about Ellie's runaway buggy ride, sitting through long preaching services in an Amish home, filling straw ticks (mattresses) for the upstairs bedrooms, helping with their public sale and moving day. Go with Ellie and her boyfriend, David, to Sunday night singings. Experience her baptism Sunday, a death in her family, an Amish funeral, and her own very special wedding day. As a mother with a growing family, Ellie appreciates the way she was brought up. She wants to pass on to her children the Amish way of serving God and loving others.
