Summary:

With more than 85,000 copies in print, this author has introduced his readers to the ways of America's plain folk. Now, in this book, he offers a very different--and even more intimate--view of life in the Amish world. It isn't the way of the Amish to write about themselves, but Hostetler has put together a delightful anthology in which they do just that.
