| ملاحظات: | "Fewer than one hundred people have joined the Amish since 1950--and stayed. Marlene C. Miller is one of them. In 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 family"--Provided by publisher. "Released simultaneously in Canada by Herald Press, Kitchener, Ontario"--Title page verso. "An earlier version of this book was self-published by the author and entitled Grace Leads Me Home : From Head Majorette to Old Order Amish"--Title page verso. |
