Actually finished this book nearly 2 weeks ago. I learned quite a bit about the Amish sects that I'd never heard of, and Lizzie is amazing. Her first language being Pennsylvania Dutch, Lizzie is articulate, funny, direct and humble. This book chronicles the journey of her life story, including tragically losing her father at a young age. The book itself only took me about a day to finish, but it's impact will be long-lasting. Recommended.

Meh. Save yourself the money and just go watch her pinned stories on her TikTok exactly the same stories but free. But now all her lives are about her soap company.

The parts about the Amish community were interesting, but I didn’t like the writing style or the motivational part.

This is my second time reading this book by Lizzie. I, like many others, found Lizzie through Reels almost 2 years ago. I hired her in the spring of 2025 for nutrition coaching when I was at one of my sickest points and doctors had given up on me. Within 6 weeks, I went from vomiting up every meal to tolerating basic protein and carbs (I later found out I had hEDS and medication had flared up my entire gastro system and Lizzie helped calm it down). I bought her book and asked for a signed copy to celebrate our progress together (because it's not always about trying to lose weight). I had known about her background in the Amish community from social media, but reading the book opened my eyes to how much she had overcome. I learned a lot about the Amish and her tragic story.
It's a great book to read if you find the topic interesting, even if you don't know Lizzie personally. The book is self-published and does have some typical formatting/typos errors, but is recently updated. The book is 98% about her Amish upbringing, but the end does pitch her business and coaching career (which I've had good experiences with and didn't mind). Interesting all the way through!

The parts about being Amish was so interesting. The dating surprised me but the sister already having 10 or 12 kids did not. It turned from her story to more of an ad for her business, which I am impressed she made but not what I wanted to read about.

2.5 stars. I wanted more stories from her Amish life and post Amish life instead of a pitch for her business. Writing was meh but the story carries it through
