I am not sure I can fully put into words on how I feel about this book but I will try. Marlene Miller comes from a dysfunctional family. Starts dating a Amish man and gets pregnant so they get married.
She decides to become Amish herself and they have lots more kids. You can tell she did not grow up on the Amish involvement, she complains a lot about having 10 kids, lack of money and the struggles of having a farm plus has very little patience. Some of the story are just so sad and others I wonder if the woman was born with any common sense. Marlene Miller is very open and raw at time but lacks a full well rounded picture of just what is going on, kinda like she is holding back information. If you are looking for information about the Amish as a whole, skip this book, if you are looking for a peek into the life of a woman who married into the Amish then you might like this book. To me it was just a ok strangely put together book.
