Bestselling fiction author Jerry S. Eicher
(nearly half a million books sold) turns his pen to a moving memoir of his life
growing up Amish.
Jerry's mother was nineteen years old and nine
months married when he was born. She had received Grandfather Stoll's permission
for the wedding because she agreed to help out on the farm the following year.
However, with Jerry on the way, those plans failed.
Jerry recounts his first two years of school in
the Amish community of Aylmer, Ontario and his parents' decision to move to
Honduras. Life in that beautiful Central American country is seen through an
Amish boy's eyes--and then the dark days when the community failed and the
family returned to America, much to young Jerry's regret. Jerry also tells of
his struggle as a stutterer and his eventual conversion to Christ and the
reasons for his departure from the childhood faith he
knew.
Here is a must-read for not just Jerry's
fiction fans, but also for readers curious about Amish
life.
Pick your copy
Jerry Eicher's bestselling Amish fiction (more than
450,000 in combined sales) includes The Adams County Trilogy, the Hannah's Heart
books, and the Little Valley Series. After a traditional Amish childhood, Jerry
taught for two terms in Amish and Mennonite schools in Ohio and Illinois. Since
then he's been involved in church renewal, preaching, and teaching Bible
studies. Jerry lives with his wife, Tina, and their four children in
Virginia.
This is a autobiography like no other. WoW can
Jerry tell a story!
I love how touching and honest his story is and
did I mention that there is some humor in it also.
You do NOT want to miss this book by
Jerry!
Of course it was a 5 star
book!
I was given a copy of this book by the

This book will be a very interesting and different look at Amish life. It will be good to read an autobiography from Jerry that is based on fact not like those portrayed on TV. I look forward to reading this book.
