In this insightful memoir, the New York Times bestselling author of Growing Up Amish tries to reconcile with his father, family, and heritage after leaving his faith behind. With his singular voice, Ira reveals his experience in BROKEN ROADS. Through difficult reunions, struggles confronted, and betrayals revisited, Ira explores burning questions of faith and identity shared by millions, whether Amish or not. Readers may recognise themselves along these paths with Ira, as he grapples with choices, faith, family, the past, and the future. Ira unapologetically, but compassionately, illuminates the inner world of the Amish community through his story of life after leaving, returning to his Amish father, and how they might mend the broken roads between them before it' s too late.
In this wonderful sequel to Growing up Amish, Wagler repairs the broken roads-the endless rifts with his father and others. With audacious candor, Wagler reveals the darkest crevice of his heart, the sensitive soul of his people, the yearning of the human spirit. He fearlessly tells the unfettered truth. Raw truth about love, empathy, sin, salvation and reconciliation. His honesty refreshes. His brilliance informs. His courage offers hope. --Donald B. Kraybill, author The Riddle of Amish Culture A nuanced account. . . [Ira' s] tale of restlessness looks acutely at the clash of family ties with love of freedom. The memoir is worthwhile as much for its Amish insights as for its exploration of one man' s emotional turmoil, regret, and shame. " --Publishers Weekly on Growing Up Amish
