Description

Fewer than one hundred people have joined the Old Order Amish and stayed since 1950. Marlene C. Miller is certainly one of them. On this rare memoir, Marlene recounts her unhappy and abusive childhood, how she throws herself into cheerleading and marching band, and how she falls in love with Johnny, the gentle young Amish man who helps her lace her ice skates.

Against the wishes of both sets of parents, Marlene and Johnny get married and begin a circle of relatives. Follow the creator in this atypical journey to learn how God s love known as her out of bitterness and depression and into the warm embrace of her new Amish community.

Accompany her as she dons an Amish dress and prayer covering and gets baptized. Find out how she endures the strain of ten children, a hundred-acre farm, and accidents and tragedy, and learn how she comes with regards to walking away from it all. Turning Amish has proven to be anything but plain and simple for this former majorette. But nearly fifty years later, Marlene is still living out God’s call as an Old Order Amish woman.
