It finally arrived and true to my sense of curiosity I thumbed through the book, skimmed many of the chapters and developed a sense of excitement. My assessment – I can’t wait to sit down and begin at the first page.
A beautifully written book which actually had its beginning before these two women met face-to-face in 2002. While respecting the Amish desire for privacy, Cindy gives a good idea of the life, joys, frustrations and peace of an Old Order Amish woman. Full of stories that will make you laugh and some that will almost make you cry, lessons to be learned about how we face our lives are also evident. Cindy and Miriam have shared from their heart experiences that have shaped who they are today. We can all learn from them. And as if the stories were not enough, Miriam includes many recipes she would like to share with us, her readers. One recipe in particular, the Christmas Salad, I ate as a child and have been looking for it ever since.
I recommend this book to every woman who has been curious about the Amish lifestyle, who has been frustrated with life, who is still raising her children.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
