Leahbelle Beachy and the Beings of Light

Leahbelle Beachy has always had a hard time accepting the dictates of the men and boys around her. But strange visitors are troubling her Amish community: Genetically Modified Rats, government exterminators, and a mysterious new technology invading the livestock. It seems the only person who can help her is the seductive and dangerous Gonzalo, a cyborg rebel involved in an underground movement against the government. When catastrophe makes her a fugitive and hurtles her into the outside world, with all its elaborate technologies, genders, and life forms, Leahbelle will be forced to take a journey of discovery. With Gonzalo as her guide, she will chart a parallel path to that of her first love, Zeke Yoder. Torn between her traditional beliefs and the excitement of adventures among the English, she will wrestle with unknown dangers and unexpected desires. In encounters with futuristic youth subcultures, quantum computers, empaths, sociopaths, and beings of light, the winding paths of Leahbelle and Zeke put them on a risky and illuminating collision course with their destinies, and with the destiny of the cosmos itself. "A thrilling, inventive, ominous, and yes, romantic ride. Beachy's Amish Terror series is wild and sweet, like nothing else I've read." ABEER HOQUE, author of OLIVE WITCH "A chaotic, eerily familiar world, rendered in poetic exactitude; an Amish innocent, more tough and discerning than anyone expects her to be; a sequel that surpasses its predecessor in its offering of horrors, transcendence, and thrills." COURTNEY MORENO, author of IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
