A Life of Joy Mass market paperbound - 1984

From the publisher

From beloved Amish author Amy Clipston, A Life of Joy is now available in mass market at a lower price.

Lindsay Bedford began her life as an Englischer, but since going to live with her aunt and uncle, she has found peace in the Amish community of Bird-in-Hand. Now that she's eighteen, she has to figure out where she belongs. As a member of the Amish church? Or in the Englisch world like her older sister?

Eighteen-year-old Lindsay Bedford has reached a crossroads. Should she stay in the small Amish community she's known and loved for four years or return to the Englisch life of her hometown in Virginia where her older sister is a college student? An extended visit to Virginia might just tip the scales as Lindsay reconnects with friends, joins a new church, works on her GED, and is pressured by her sister to stay and "make something of herself."

Will Lindsay leave her aunt Rebecca and become Englisch or settle in Bird-in-Hand and join the Amish church?

Take a trip to Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, where you'll meet the delightful women of the Kauffman Amish Bakery in Lancaster County. As each woman's story unfolds, you will share in her joys, dreams . . . and secrets. You'll discover the simplicity of the Amish lifestyle and, most importantly, you will be encouraged by the hope and faith of these women, and the importance they place on their families.
