Falling Off the Belief Dee Yoder

Leah Raber has made a decision to escape the oppressive Amish community in which she was born. She decides to make a fresh start among the less strict Amish in Holmes County, Ohio. At first, it appears she has made the right decision, but soon, the same spiritual questions which plagued her when she left the Amish two years before are back. Being born Amish has led to her desire to try again to live the life and follow the Ordnung. Can she make a life for herself, with the help of her Amish beau, in a less conservative Amish church? Is it possible to rely only on grace, and not works, and still be Amish? What happens when her decisions bring the church officials to her door once again? Is the gossip surrounding her true?
