Growing Up Amish: A Memoir par Ira Wagler
I really enjoyed and appreciated Ira's story of his experience growing up in an Amish community, and then his journey to discover his own faith.

Mildly interesting autobiography of a vacillating Amish member.
Born in that culture, he describes his large family, the farm work, the religion, the old fashioned ways demanded of them....
