Mennonite in a Little Black Dress


For once I am reading something current, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, a memoir by Rhoda Janzen.  When her husband leaves her for another man, Janzen goes home to reconnect with her family and her heritage.  This delightful and humorous book is the result.  Many times I found myself laughing out loud at her descriptions of her life, her marriage, or her childhood.  I highly recommend this book, after all, how can you go wrong when on the first page you read of a relative who named her withered arm "Stinky."
