My Journey into the Amish World

What happens when a barefoot Mormon mom of six starts driving Amish strangers through rural Missouri at 3 a.m.? Everything changes.

I’m Haley Straw — accidental taxi driver, cornfield neighbor, and the English girl who somehow earned a seat at Amish weddings, funerals, and the quiet moments most people never see.

These pages are raw, unfiltered, and 100 % real:
• Directionally-challenged passengers who swear they know the way… until they don’t
• Live animals (yes, really) riding shotgun
• Teenagers stealing kisses in the very back row
• A bishop handing out my business cards because “the men collect drivers like baseball cards”
• Heart-to-hearts at 4 a.m. on gravel roads that shattered every stereotype I had
• Original photos I snapped from the driver’s seat (faces hidden, hearts wide open)
• An Amish proverb at the end of every chapter that will stay with you forever

This isn’t just a book — it’s a front-seat pass to a world most people only wave at from the highway. Come ride shotgun with the barefoot taxi driver. Hit “Buy Now” and buckle up — the stories start the second it arrives.
