Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In "Andy" you'll learn about the trials of Ellie's youngest brother as he struggles to be accepted. During the Depression years many drifters stop for a bite to eat at the Maust farm. And with Andy always hearing the exciting tales of the many drifters, he is attracted to the thought of a care-free life. As he grows older he has trouble with his weight, and is teased quite a bit. Then he leaves home. Will the life of an Amish drifter be as adventurous as he thinks? You can find out by reading this book by Mary Christner Borntrager.
