<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>What if the Mennonite life young Marian Longenecker chafed against offered the chance for a new beginning? What if her two Lancaster County homes with three generations of family were the perfect launch pad for a brighter future? Readers who long for a simpler life can smell the aroma of saffron-infused potpie in Grandma's kitchen, hear the strains of four-part a capella music at church, and see the miracle of a divine healing.</p><p>Follow the author in pigtails as a child and later with a prayer cap, bucking a heavy-handed father and challenging church rules. Feel the terror of being locked behind a cellar door. Observe the horror of feeling defenseless before a conclave of bishops, an event propelling her into a different world.</p><p>Fans of coming-of-age stories will delight in one woman's surprising path toward self-discovery, a self that lets her revel in shiny red shoes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In <em>Mennonite Daughter--Story of a Plain Girl</em>, Marian Beaman invites you into a world gone by with a loving tribute to her Mennonite family. We learn how we may cling to our roots while needing to find our own path, and how our growth can include respect for the past while creating new family traditions. You will be charmed by her depiction of a simple, plain life in a Mennonite community in the fifties, and her gentle shift into modern times.</p><p>--Linda Joy Myers, Founder of the National Association of Memoir Writers, author of <em>Don't Call Me Mother</em> and <em>Song of the Plains</em></p><br>
