They are a large culture in the U.S. The author shares information about their beliefs and how that affected her upbringing. Hope you will enjoy it! Thanks for commenting.

That's a good question. I do believe their beliefs are very law based which often results in resentment and frustration in their children. This is a moving story about Amanda's experiences and she shares her feelings about her upbringing. I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks for commenting.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑02 May 2019, 21:08 Are all Mennonite fathers strict disciplinarians? I hope Amanda (as well as her brother) is able to rise above her loneliness and discontent and their father is able to mend his relationship with his children. I'm convinced that this one's worth reading.

You will love this book! Amanda really opens your eyes to their lifestyle and traditions. Thanks so much for stopping by!Janalyn101 wrote: ↑03 May 2019, 16:14 I am absolutely going to read this book! I have been acquainted with Mennonite people, but never the inter-workings of their family and home life. So I will definitely be getting this and reading it. Hopefully today. That was a great review.
