Shattered Worlds

RENEE L. GIBLIN

In the heart of Missouri, a secret affair between an Amish man, Jacob, and an English woman, Amy, shatters their worlds when it results in a forbidden pregnancy. Fearful of excommunication from his community, Jacob abandons Amy and their newborn son, Daniel. Raised by his single mother, Daniel grows up immersed in the English world, enjoying school, sports, and modern technologies. Tragedy strikes when Amy dies in a car accident, leaving Daniel orphaned. As children's services intervene to locate his father, Daniel is thrust into the unfamiliar world of the Amish community. At fourteen, he must leave behind his former life and adapt to his father's Amish ways. With the help of his new friends, Troy and Tim, Daniel navigates the challenges of adjusting to his new home while grappling with his dual identity and the complexities of family, tradition, and belonging.
