Having read other works by Global Grafx Press, it was no surprise to read another good book by Rachel Stoltzfus. Following the adventures of Jacob Marshall, a Lancaster Amish Home for Jacob weaves a tale of loss, pain and growth all seen through the eyes of a boy most people had written off long ago. He comes to live with an Amish family, and through their love, nurturing and tenderness, he begins to feel better about himself and his life and looks to stay. He also finds the beginnings of love with an Amish girl, and fights the stereotypes about being an outsider. This book was touching and surprising, and I look forward to reading Book 2 in the Lancaster Amish Home for Jacob series.
