This review is from: A Pocket Guide to Amish Life (Paperback)
After reading a number of fiction novels based in Amish country, PA, I was interested in learning more about this group. The book is a quick and easy way to do so. I thought it was quite helpful, but would have liked some information about the original immigrants from Europe.

I have already enjoyed Mindy Starns Clark's fiction set in Amish country. This guide is just as informative as I thought it would be. It's an excellent resource, and I recommend it for anyone wishing to know more about the Amish.
