Guder Dagg! 

I'm Debra Torres, author of Amish Christian Fiction. 

Have you ever been so curious about a people group that you devoured books about them? That’s how I was with the Amish. I had so many questions, and Amish novels gave me the peek into their culture I was looking for.
 
For twelve years, our family lived in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Here, we had the influence of the Amish around us, but it was the Amish books I read that helped to weave their story for me.  
 
Today, I write my own Amish books in a style that’s real, raw, and compelling. I give you unforgettable Amish and Englisher characters trapped in heart wrenching journeys of self discovery. Read about real lives and real relationships that are so broken only God can fix them.
 
Are you ready for the buggy ride of your life?
