LaVonne W. (Grnemae) - , reviewed on 12/7/2008 + 451 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 3

I was somewhat disappointed in this book. For me there were not enough in depth details. It was like expecting a roast beef dinner to find that what is being served is the soup bone. Many aspects of Irene's life are skimmed right past. I never felt that I truly understood the reasons for her strong desire to leave the Amish way of life. Her descriptions of adjusting to the "English" way of life are funny and makes a person realize how isolated the Amish really are from the world that exists around them.
