When Ashley Emma was a small child, she knew she wanted to become an author. When she was 20, she decided to stay with Amish families to do research for her writing.
This journal captures her unique experience and the friendships she made with the Amish in Unity, Maine, who opened their homes and their hearts to this curious, young author.
(PLEASE NOTE: The writing style of this research project will reflect the age of the author at that time and is very different from her USA Today Bestselling Amish novels.)
Ever wondered what it would be like to stay inside an Amish home, make Amish friends, or go to an Amish wedding? Now you can experience what everyday Amish life actually looks like in this journal. This updated, improved version now has 90+ photos from Amish communities in Maine and Pennsylvania.
Come along on the fascinating journey as Ashley learns everything she can about the Amish as she rides in buggies, shells buckets of peanuts, attends Amish church services, helps make 100 quarts of applesauce, learns Amish customs, teaches in the schoolhouse, visits an Amish family in Lancaster, and attends an Amish wedding. Most of all, she befriends the Amish in both Maine and Lancaster, Pennsylvania who let her ask them questions for her research.
What does an Amish home look like inside? What happens at an Amish wedding? How do rules in Amish communities differ? Why do the Amish live the way they do? This journal will not just answer these questions, they will show you what it truly means to be Amish.
You will see a week of Amish life through the eyes of a young woman who admires and respects this wonderful group of people.
Ashley Emma used the research from this book to write her 10+ bestselling Amish novels. Now, 10 years later, she is now a USA Today Bestselling Author and feels that she owes her entire career to the Amish of Unity, Maine.

"I have been around the people of the Unity Settlement for about a year now and can absolutely state that this journal has captured the flavor of the Unity Settlement and its people as well as their hospitality... This journal is a nice tool for those researching the reality of the Amish lifestyle. People who find this journal interesting may want to look into the life and works of Elmo Stoll, the deceased father of the Stoll brothers of Unity, Maine." -Pls1721, Amazon Customer
"This book gives readers a very rare peek into life in an Amish community." --Tracy Lee, Author and Pastor
