They’re caught between two worlds, and if they’re not careful it could tear them further apart.Ĭan Isaac and David make their way back to each other-and find a place to call home? Isaac and David yearn for a future together, but each day it becomes harder to hide the truth about who they really are. Their families are desperate to bring them back into the fold, and pressure from the community builds. Yet if they thought navigating “English” life was confusing, being back in Zebulon is even more complicated. Their relationship is on the rocks after insecurity and fear drove a wedge between them in San Francisco, and David is determined to make things right. But when Isaac’s younger brother is stricken with cancer, they don’t hesitate to return. Isaac and David never thought they’d go back to the Amish world. Will returning to their Amish roots renew their faith in each other? I do have a few ideas percolating for a fourth book that would catch up with Isaac and David down the road, but first they have to find, well, their way home.

This series was planned as a trilogy, and I hope it will be as satisfying a journey for readers as it was for me as a writer. They’ve experienced the joys-and challenges-of the outside world in San Francisco in A Clean Break, and going home is fraught with emotion and anxiety. This is the world to which Isaac and David must return in the third book in the trilogy, A Way Home. In Kentucky, some Swartzentruber men went to jail rather than compromise their belief that God will protect them on the road, and that shiny orange is just too vain. One Swartzentruber tenet that I think symbolizes how they are different from other Amish is their refusal to use orange reflective triangles on their buggies. My characters are Swartzentruber Amish, and as such live very restrictive lives. I set A Forbidden Rumspringa in a fictional town in northern Minnesota called Zebulon. Just as all Italians aren’t alike, neither are the Amish. On the other end of the spectrum are the Swartzentruber Amish, who don’t have indoor plumbing. For example, the Beachy Amish-Mennonites drive cars and use electricity. One of the most surprising things I learned while researching this series was how many different sects there are within the Amish faith, and how different one group can be from another.
