Title: Facts about everyday life, very little introspection
Product review: I was disappointed in this book, which is full of detail about THINGS but short on information about Amish beliefs and the author's inner life. We learn how many quarts of strawberries were picked on the family farm, but there's nothing about the history and beliefs of the Amish community, or about the author's own spiritual life. I had hoped to read a rich exploration of his values and beliefs, and the inner conflicts and challenges he must have faced when he went "out into the world" to go to college and medical school. There is a lot of genealogical detail about the people who were important in the author's life, but they are only thinly characterized. The writing style is very plain.
