You’ve just got to love the Amish sisters Michal and
Tabitha Troyer—both in their rumspringa.
On the day of Tabitha’s 16th birthday her rumspringa starts. This is
also the day she decides to take off on the back of a motorcycle with her Englisher friend Nick. Everyone expected
them to come back by the end of the day, but they did not return. Tabitha and
Nick want to explore America on a Harley. Their parents are worried sick, but
they can’t force them to come home because they are of age. Then an unexpected
request is asked of Michal and her friend Milwaukee—take Milwaukee’s motorcycle
and go in search of Tabitha. This is the start of a journey full of adventure
and danger. While they are traveling they try to figure out their feelings
about joining the Amish church and also their feelings for each other.
A journey that started out as the hunt for Tabitha
becomes life changing for both Michal and Milwaukee. While they are following
Tabitha’s trail, they also take time to enjoy the beauty of America.
During their journey they meet several interesting
people who will help them understand Tabitha and why she really left. They also
help them to find their destiny in God.
The closer they get to Tabitha the more they realize
she might be in great danger. Will they ever catch up with her in time?
Wow, what a thrilling and fabulous book!—one of Murray
Pura’s best writings. I enjoyed this story immensely. There was a longing
inside me to join Michal and Milwaukee on their road trip. How I would love to
see all of the beauty they saw!
Yes, this book is about the Amish. No, you can’t
compare it with anything you have read before. Murray Pura is known for his
intriguing stories and original plots. When you start reading his work you will
be glued to the pages and forget everything around you!
If I was not convinced before, I am now—Mr. Pura can
write any genre and write it well! I honestly hope to see more contemporary
books written by this brilliant author!
This book first released in 4 e-book volumes and is now available as a complete download.
The paperback will be out soon. My review is of the complete book.
Buy Murray Pura's books at Amazon, CBD, Barnes & Noble, or other bookstores.

I don't read much Amish fiction because they all started to start the same, but this certainly sounds like something new and different!
