Mennonite on the Edge
Though a country-girl at heart, MaryJo hopes to leave behind her identity as a Mennonite in marrying Adam and living a life of adventure in Manhattan. But news from home kicks up memories she’d tried to forget. While she begins to question her choices, Adam lands a high-profile job, making a move seem impossible.
MaryJo must make peace with her past and her present so that she can live the life of her dreams with Adam. But can she reconcile her craving for a life of country serenity in the City that Never Sleeps?
Crazy Quilt
A love story. A search for identity in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. A ground-breaking memoir.
In her mid-twenties and in a state of despair, Cynthia left her husband, and dropped out of graduate studies at Columbia University. She moved home to rural Pennsylvania to collect stories from her Pennsylvania German Mennonite family and to regain her equilibrium. Yoder’s account of that year became one of the first slice-of-life Pennsylvania Dutch memoirs published by a Mennonite-born woman. Crazy Quilt was released on Kindle by Ragged Sky Press, Princeton.
