Summary:

This book follows the life and times of Joseph W. Yoder (1872-1956), author of Rosanna of the Amish and a musician. Yoder came of age during an era of great possibility in America. His journey--from an isolated, Pennsylvania religious subculture to the world and back--is a heroic quest, fraught with conflicts, misunderstandings, and reversals of intention.
