Swede $9.95
Book three. Against his wishes, Henrik Svensson leaves Sweden and comes to the United States as an exchange student, thinking he can make the year bearable by chasing girls and ignoring the rules. Hoping to be placed in the sun and surf of California, Henrik instead finds himself in the middle of Kansas with its wheatfield prairies, church-going Mennonites, and the strangely bearded, bonneted Amish in
their buggies. He can't believe his bad luck. The brash, know-it-all "Swede" plans to break rules and not get caught, maintain his superior attitude and still make friends, conquer girls but guard his heart. What he doesn't plan on is his friendship with an old Amish man called Dawdi, the firm but fair parenting of Bo and Skye, and learning a different way of loving from a beautiful girl.
