Writing About The Amish: A Memoir by Beth Wiseman

 

About the book

WHY DOES EVERY BETH WISEMAN BOOK INCLUDE A RED SUITCASE?

This is one of the many questions answered by an author who has sold over two million books. Beth has penned more than forty books about the Plain People in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Indiana. In this collection of essays, Beth gives readers a glimpse into her personal life and shares experiences she's had while writing about the Amish.

INCLUDES PHOTOS, AMISH RECIPES, AND A "BONUS" SHORT STORY!

My thoughts:

Beth Wiseman has been one of must-read authors for several years so I was super excited when I found out she was writing this book.  As a long time fan of her work, I knew she thoroughly researched the Amish communities she has written about and in this book, she shares her experiences with her readers.  I love that she has a great deal of respect combined with genuine interest when approaching the communities she is writing about. 

The author writes with such warmth and humor that time flew by as I read page after page.  I appreciated the photos and recipes she shares and I was very appreciative of the bonus short, An Amish Adoption .   Writing about the Amish would make a great gift for the readers in your life from the young to the young at heart. 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
