SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A young Amish girl frees herself from the shackles of her community so that she could experience the world and discover her true self in Elizabeth Kaiser's "A Separate God: Journal of an Amish Girl" (published by Archway Publishing).

Offering the good, the bad and the ugly of the Amish, the novel shows the beauty and darkness hidden from the outside world. Rachel, who is courageous, rebellious and constantly questions her cultures motivation to be so different finds the strength to leave both the Amish and an abusive husband.

"'A Separate God' uniquely speaks as a voice for the women of the Amish and all closed cultures. Unlike other books on the Amish written by an outsider looking in, Lucinda lived it," Kaiser says. "It clearly recognizes abuse and every stage of it and what can be done about it, not only in the Amish, but all cultures."

The book is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Separate-God-Journal-Amish-Girl-ebook/dp/B07L68TCRP/.
