Growing up Amish
By
Ira Wagler
I have just started reading this one.
Another Autobiography,this time by an author who was born into an Amish Community.
Mine eyes hath been opened! but not quite in the way you might imagine.
I never thought about bullying in Amish schools for instance or the way childbirth is seen as hum drum or children as an every day occurrence.
Ragged dirty kids ,oppression and massive peer pressure are described in vivid detail.
Not quite the idyllic world I expected.
I love the idea of a world without vices or over extravagance but not if it means you have no freedom or modern amenities when you really need them.
