Helpful Score: 3

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author tells a fascinating story about her life within an "Old Order Amish Community", as well as her new life and marrige outside of the community.

I knew that the rules were very rigid inside the Amish Community, but I never really knew the intricasies and the strictness of an "Old Order Amish" community, that is, until I read Irene Garrett's book. I didn't know that there were different sects of the Amish way of life.

Living in Somerset County, PA, I am more familiar with the life of an Amish and a Mennonite community that does not seem as severe as an "Old Order Amish" community, but then again, I am one of "The English" and do not know as much about their way of life as I probably think that I do.

That being said, this book definately held my attention, making it a very good and a very quick read.
