“Whether or not you are Amish, whether or not you are religious, you may find hope and solace in the plain writing, hard work and busy lives chronicled in these books. ” ––Nevada Appeal http://bit.ly/evQcrk

“Twenty years ago, Elizabeth Coblentz began writing a column called The Amish Cook, which detailed her daily life as a mother, grandmother and Amish wife. Her columns reflected farm and family life as it must have been lived a century or so earlier. When Coblentz died, her daughter Lovina Eicher, a wife and mother of eight, took over the column, opening the door to Amish life and sharing recipes of dishes prepared from the bounty of their farm.” ––The Herald-Palladium http://bit.ly/bISGR5
