Josie

Josie lived the expected life of every Amish-born child.
As she helped at her family's produce stand during the monthly Iowa Produce Auction, the girl was unexpectedly surprised by an encounter with an Englisher. The woman's comments confirmed the feelings Josie had felt since her school days. Why was she so different from all the others in her Amish community? The experience with the Englisher was the deciding factor; the burden was much too heavy to carry any longer. "Surely there is a secret hiding within our family. Perhaps if I uncover it, I will no longer drive myself crazy trying to push it out of my mind." She never considered the possibility that her Plain life would be turned upside down when her mother confessed Josie was not born into the Amish faith. This truth unearthed a host of new issues for her.
Now, Josie Allgyer wants answers. The complexity of Josie's story leaves little clue as to her identity, where she came from, or the whereabouts of her birth family. Without modern technology resources, how will the girl uncover the details surrounding her birth and abandonment?
