(3) YA Amish Eliza, sixteen, leaves the comfort and familiarity of her "plain" life to spend her rumspringa ("a period of independence" for teens) exploring the marvels of a modern lifestyle. While she experiences technology, romance, and heartache for the first time, she also discovers the strength of her heritage and the importance of being true to one's self. This bildungsroman offers both a unique and a universal perspective.
