Mennonite in a Little Black Dress - Rhoda Janzen

I picked up this book because my folks used to attend a Mennonite church when I was little and I thought it might be interesting. Not many people are familiar with Mennonites today, as there are rather few of them out there, and it provides a very interesting look.

I liked Rhoda's sense of humor. She is unapologetic about who she is and where she came from and takes a humorous look at some of the stereotypes people have about Mennonites. She also addresses that even if you change a lot from when you were a child, you still can't escape your roots and where you came from, even if you try. And it isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Verdict: Read it.
