The Amish Ballerina

Wanda and Richelle writes great together and this book proves it. I love how they brought the Amish storyline out to the English world. I love how the story is based on talent that Amish has that is frowned upon by the Amish but she takes a leap of faith that may bring her leaving the Amish to fulfill her dreams. I really recommend this awesome book and please read to see how this story ends

A different story line for Amish Fiction. An Amish girl and boy enjoy dancing and being on a horse drill team but have to figure out about their future and their Amish Faith. Read how their families and friends react and support them.

The Amish Ballerina by Richelle Brunstetter and Wanda E. Brunstetter is a very unique story. Very different than the traditional Amish stories and especially different from the usual Wanda Brunstetter stories. I have noticed this uniqueness since Richelle Brunstetter has joined Wanda and Jean. This is not a bad thing, just different. I think this uniqueness comes from her. However, it is interesting to see a different type of plot from the Amish-fiction genre. Arie Kauffman is a young eighteen year old girl who of all things, loves to dance ballet. Her boyfriend, Edwin Chupp, encourages her to try new things. He has a unique passion himself. He is on a horseback drill team. Both are very unique Amish concepts and one can almost find them unbelievable. Both Arie and Edwin’s families were frustrating, not much love or warmth. We see growth, acceptance and understanding as each find their passion for life. The ending was a little abrupt, but overall well written. I would recommend this book for its uniqueness and the different perspective of Amish life. Thank you Barbour Publishing | for allowing me to read this ARC. All opinions are my own, and I was not required to give a positive review. 4-stars.

Arie wants to dance but it’s against her Amish faith. So, she hides it from her family and her beau. It wasn’t fun when they found out! She ponders on why she can’t be dancing even though she is Amish.
