Somewhere to Belong

Somewhere to Belong is one of The Daughters of Amana series, written by Judith Miller.
 It is about  two girls who were living in Amana, Iowa in a colony of plain people. Johanna had lived there all her life and Berta who came there at age 17 and did not want to be there. She liked the pretty clothes and fast pace of big city living.
Johanna and her parents shared their home with and elderly lady who had no family and Berta and her parents. They ate meals in a community kitchen and worked during the day. Johanna worked in the kitchen and Berta was assigned there too. Johanna was to train Berta but Berta wasn't interested in learning and caused a lot of trouble.

Johanna learned there were lots of secrets among her family. Berta learned this about her family too. By facing the secrets she and Berta discovered where they belonged.
