Marlene C. Miller shares her life story from birth to present
day as a member of the Old Order Amish community and how she converted. From
Beach City, Ohio eating a “poor man’s Popsicle” (a big piece of ice inside a
clean washcloth) to becoming pregnant out of wedlock with Johnny, the father,
choosing his Amish faith over marrying an English girl who was not Amish.
The story continues with Marlene and Johnny overcoming their
differences, marrying, Marlene’s conversion, life on a hundred-acre farm and
raising twelve children. The book includes family pictures, facts, and
questions page about the Amish and Marlene’s Favorite Recipes.
Ms. Miller does not shy away from any situation she
encountered during her life journey by sugarcoating or looking through rose-colored
glasses, but relays the life lessons learned head on with true realism. This
novel is a very interesting read that teaches how the Amish think and live
differently from modern society. I recommend to readers who love to read in detail
how the Amish communities live everyday life.
I received this book free from Herald Press through the
Litfuse Publicity review program in accordance with the Federal Trade
Commission Guidelines.
