Bookroo's summary
Esther, an Amish girl, feels out of place in her plain clothes at public school. Terrified of standing out, she grapples with the fear of following her brother's path—leaving her community for the alluring, forbidden world beyond. Will she resist the pull of the unknown, or will her curiosity lead her astray? As Esther navigates this new environment, she must confront her deepest fears and desires, questioning where she truly belongs.
From the publisher
An Amish girl, Esther feels like “one black bird against the sky” in her plain clothes. So when she’s forced to attend public school she’s terrified. She fears the new world she must enter, fears the way she sticks out next to other kids, and–most of all–fears she may do what her brother did: run away and join the sinful but great wide world she’s only just discovering.
