The Importance of Choices: A World Away by Nancy Grossman

Title: A World Away by Nancy Grossman
Genre: YA Contemporary
Pro-Feminist Content: ★★★
Rage-Induction: >:( >:(

After the lovely book that was The Possibilities of Sainthood, I was looking forward to another religion-themed YA contemporary novel. I thought A World Away would be a good second choice as its main character, Eliza, is Amish. My main line of thinking was that this is a fringe group that I know little about, other than my preconceived notions from media, and I thought again I would be pleasantly surprised.

If you already didn't know, as a Hindu-raised person with a bachelor's in a science field, I'm not really the type who likes to be in the company of Bible-thumpers.
