This reissue retains the original interior art but has new cover art by Kevin Hawkes. Sorensen, who excelled at providing a glimpse of family life, gives readers a sympathetic and appealing portrait of Esther, an Amish girl being sent to public school--and into the wider world--for the first time, against the wishes of her father.
