The Amish Girl

By: Ernie Vecchione

Narrated by: Andrea Lee Davis

Anna Beiler is too wicked to be Amish.

Or so she is told. Well into her Rumspringa (the time when Amish teenagers are free to experience the modern world before deciding which life to choose), Anna yearns for a life outside her order in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Anna convinces an amateur documentary crew to drive her to a party in the Pennsylvania mountains where she plans to make her escape. An accident leaves Anna stranded in Centralia, a town condemned for a coal mine fire that burns below the ground, a literal hell on earth. She is held captive by Centralia’s lone resident, a crazed ex-Amish man named Jacob, who possesses a horrible secret, a secret he keeps buried deep inside the burning mine. To survive, Anna must play the part of the submissive Amish girl until company arrives that goes beyond her worst nightmares.

Set deep in Pennsylvania lore, The Amish Girl is an immersive novel of faith and survival, the legacy of torture and martyrdom, and the horrors done in the name of God.

Gripping Story / excellent narration

The Amish Girl is the harrowing tale of Anna set in her Pennsylvania Amish community and the remnants of the town of Centralia. Andrea Davis’ narration is fantastic. She really brings the characters to life. Highly recommended.

Suspenseful Story, Amazing Narration

This is a thrilling ride taking the depths of the Amish way of life to the extreme. The descriptive details had me gasping and cringing and eager for more. The narration by Andrea Lee Davis was phenomenal. Highly recommend.
