Mennonite In A Little Black Dress

Not to jinx it or anything, but I hope you have noticed that I've now read several 3-star books in a row!! The one I just finished, by Rhoda Janzen, is great! It's a memoir about the author who grew up in the Mennonite faith but later left it. I had to share my favorite lines from the book, where she's reminiscing about her youth: "My mother braided my hair so tightly that my eyebrows buckled. This conferred on me a look of wholesome mental illness, like Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest." Eyebrows buckling and wholesome mental illness--it doesn't get any better than that, folks! GREAT book!!!
