reviewed on + 350 more book reviews


Saloma never felt like she fit into her Amish community. She wasn't like the other girls and spoke her mind regularly which was not common for women to ever do. She decided to go off exploring life for herself and left everything to seek out who she was.

Throughout the whole process of Saloma finding herself, she stays in touch with a man who loves her so much named David who is located where she moves to temporarily. Her relationship with him goes from good to horrible to amazing all because she was looking for who she was and didn't know how to fit him into that.

There are some wonderful parts of the home life that she grew up with and some extremely tragic and terrible situations that she grew up around. You will find out about those things as you read.

I really enjoyed this story. There were a few things that were repeated multiple times, however, it was great. There are also some photos in the book.
