My Review I grew up in Amish country in Northern New York, an area of both strict ordnungs more liberal Mennonites, so the topic of this book intrigued me the moment I read the back. The story is mainly set in Pinecraft, a community in Florida that consists of both Amish and Mennonite residents. “Snowbirds” are […]

I have a self-admitted fascination with how different faiths work, especially those of a more controversial nature. It was what led me to the library to find this book. And I haven’t been able to put it […]
