Based on a true story. Augusta, Wisconsin 1996. Late one night in small white frame house in a very strict Old Order Amish community that does not have electricity, running water, or telephones, a man starts a bloody trail across the bedroom floor next to the double bed where his young wife sleeps soundly. The blood trail snakes down the narrow staircase through the kitchen out onto the front stoop and onto the gravel drive where it ends in a pool, so that Levi Hochstetler, age 21, will appear to have been taken violently from his bed. After awhile something wakes up Levi’s wife Rosanna. Perhaps it is the putrid smell of blood, or the barking dogs outside. She assumes her husband has gone to the outhouse but even in darkness she can see something on the floor. She sits up in bed, switches on the flashlight and discovers the blood trail leading to the stairs and down. Shocked and horrified, she climbs out of bed and steps cautiously over the splashes of blood, escapes outdoors, and races across the dark yard to the house next door where her in-laws hear her urgent cries for help. After tearing through his son’s house to see the blood trail with his own eyes, her father-in-law, Joe, must run across a cornfield in the dead of night to call the police on the neighbors’ phone. When the police arrive, the house and driveway are immediately strung with alien yellow crime tape. Levi’s wife, parents, siblings, friends and neighbors are questioned exhaustively. At the break of day, police and bloodhounds search the farm buildings, grounds, and surrounding woods and cornfields. An aerial search ensues. Levi is missing and presumed dead.

This is a very entertaining book about a young Amish man who left his community and went out on his own. The character is well developed and believable and his thoughts about the big changes in his life are very engaging. It was hard to put the book down. There are alot of very interesting facts about the Amish included in the book. The section of the book describing how the author met the "real" character and heard his story was an unexpected and enjoyable surprise.Product details

This book kept you wanting to read more. Fantastic read! If you like books that really show emotions this is the book for you. I love the authors bit about writing the book and meeting the real character. This was an easy way to learn a little about the Amish while reading a young man's struggles with picking between two very different world's.
I read this book when it was only available online and am thrilled to see it's available in paperback, so I can share with others and re-read it myself in the format I prefer. It's a fascinating story, well written, and offering a rare and interesting glimpse into the world of the Amish. I really enjoyed the author's account of how she came to write it as well. Highly recommended!!
