Ira Wagler

Ira Wagler's writing delves into the profound internal conflict of an individual caught between the restrictive traditions of an Old Order Amish upbringing and the allure of the outside world. His narrative explores the deep-seated fear of eternal damnation associated with abandoning one's heritage, juxtaposed with the yearning for freedom and the vast possibilities of a different life. Wagler's prose offers a compelling look at the struggle for self-determination and the complex journey of finding one's true path, marked by repeated departures and returns before a final, decisive break.
