4.0 out of 5 stars
Great read, you won't put it down., September 21, 2000
This review is from: Haven or Hex (Paperback)
This sensitive and touching book is presented in such an easy style I just couldn't put it down. The photos, drawings and images intermingled throughout the book helped the reader `picture' the scene, especially those not native to North America.
I have long been fascinated with the lifestyle of the Amish community and although this book is about one woman's story about growing up in Pennsylvania it presents the reader with interesting insight into Amish way of life.
It takes a great deal of courage to bare all to your reader especially about taboo subjects and to present it in a sensitive yet matter of fact manner. We all have the odd proverbial skeleton in our cupboard for which we would like to forget or atone; these are the things that make us human, none of us can turn back time, Janetmae doesn't waste time trying.
She must have cried buckets remembering the past to bring us her story, I appreciated her effort and tenacity, I am sure others will too.
This book deals with the first part of Janetmaes' life when's the next instalment?
