"New Beginnings" is the first novel in the popular Seekers series by author Linda Byler, known for her sensitive portrayals of Amish life. The story follows Amos, a young man from an Amish family who struggles with the challenges of growing up. Overweight and plagued by acne, he often feels like a disappointment to his family and community. To find his own path, he leaves home and starts working as a janitor for an English couple. There, he gradually discovers a new version of himself that is healthier and more confident. However, the gap between his new life and his family's expectations remains a constant challenge. His encounters with Skye, a lively English girl, and Anna, a sweet Amish woman, put him in an inner conflict between two worlds. Linda Byler, who grew up in the Amish community herself, offers a unique insight into Amish culture and the search for identity and faith through her novel.
