Leaving My Amish World: My True Story Publisher's summary

Pregnant.

Shunned.

Heartbroken.

This is Eirene's true story of how she left the Amish.

Like most Amish children, Eirene had a carefree childhood in a tight-knit family life in the Old Order Amish community where she grew up Indiana.

Though she had no indoor plumbing, no electricity, and no modern conveniences, her young life was full of joy. Horseback riding, reading, working with her father, and singing while making noodles and quilts with her sisters filled her days as she grew up.

When Eirene becomes pregnant and marries at the tender age of 17, the harsh reality of her new life sets in.

From getting snowed in by 10 feet of snow to carrying icy buckets of water inside just to make coffee or wash dishes, Eirene remains steadfast in providing the best care she can for her son. As she has four more children, her world revolves around them, and they bring her more joy than she could have ever imagined.

Though she loves being a mother, and she loves her family, Eirene knows there has to be more to life than just being a housewife confined to her home with no money, no phone, and no transportation.

Doesn’t God have a bigger purpose for her? Wasn’t she meant for more?

When Eirene makes a Christian friend, she is hungry to learn more about the loving God who died for her and rose again, a God so unlike the one she’d learned about growing up Amish.

Eirene knows God is calling her to leave so she can serve God. But is she willing to leave her family, her community, and everything she's ever known behind?

Eirene prays that her story will be an encouragement to a struggling young mother out there wondering if life will ever change or get better.

Please follow Eirene on Amazon to be notified of her new releases in the future.
