Kate’s 2¢: “The Amish Nanny” by Mindy Starns -Clark and Leslie Gould

“The Amish Nanny” by Mindy Starns -Clark and Leslie Gould

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   The reader will learn a lot about Amish and Mennonite history, as well as why they honor their martyred forebearers. There are many wonderful descriptions of the Swiss landscapes, small towns, churches, and customs.

   I enjoyed traveling with Ada and felt my heart soar when her heart soared.
