This book was fantastic. I'm usually leery of memoirs, but this is one of the best I've read, and I have never laughed aloud so much when reading a book. I actually put off reading this book for a long time and almost decided to get rid of it before reading it. I am so glad that I didn't do that! In addition to her hilarious story-telling (she has a tremendous sense of humor), I felt like she had a lot of profound observations. And, learning about the Mennonite culture was really interesting. Some of her experiences are really unique, but I found I could relate to her nonetheless. I'll definitely revisit this one in the future.
