All Linda Castillo books
They are really good stories!!!
https://www.amazon.com/Runaway-Amish-Girl-Great-Escape/dp/1940834074 Where I used to live I was surrounded by them, so I don’t find them especially fascinating, but I enjoyed this book.
Any book by Karen Harper. I just read Fall from Pride and it was so good
Daughters of Caleb Bender – Dale Cramer.
I second the Linda Castillo books, such a great series!
Third! Lol
Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter both grew up in or near Pa Dutch country.
Any by Beverly Lewis..
Jodi Picoult – plain truth
for a fascinating view of the related, Canadian Hutterite tradition I enjoyed I am Hutterite. I also really liked Mennonite in a Little Black Dress.
If you are looking for non fiction a professor of mine co authored a book a few years ago called Amish Grace about the community response to the Nickel Mines shooting. I would highly recommend it.
“Great Possessions: An Amish Journal” David Kline. Loved this book!
Rumspringa was very interesting
If you want to expand to the Mennonites, Shirley Showalter has a memoir called BLUSH that’s very good, about growing up in the 50’s.
Blush was a good read. I appreciated the fact that is was a memoir, not fiction.
Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy by Kraybill, Nolt, and Weaver-Zercher. It’s about the school shooting near Nickel Mines, PA, and the extraordinary aftermath. Fascinating and hopeful.
There is a list of further academic reading in the back.
Plain Truth—Jodi Picoult
19 Girls Seeking Love and Hope(Mega boxed set) by Martha and Saraah Sowell
