Book Review of Growing Up Amish: A Memoir

Growing Up Amish: A Memoir
reviewed on + 145 more book reviews


I was disappointed in how little of the book was actually about growing up Amish and Amish culture.
Mostly the book is just about his struggle to get away and the pull of his former life and family when he did.
Also for someone who talks about how he always "over thinks" things, there was very little frontal lobe action in some of his decisions (Let's buy a car and take off cross country without any luggage.)
