I've heard that many Amish are moving to more isolated areas because it is getting too crowded. I listened to a story set out west with an Amish community, too. I didn't care for Lancaster--it felt like a tourist trap--but the food was great there!

We got into a conversation and it was enjoyable to hear about where they lived, where they had been and see their cute little baby they were traveling with. sonja dot nishimoto at gmail dot comSonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431683315136615640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-16184664866247119132014-11-01T22:03:48.212-04:002014-11-01T22:03:48.212-04:00Thanks for your wonderful review, Carrie!! I haven...Thanks for your wonderful review, Carrie!! I haven't read any of Kelly's books, however, do love stories with the bibliotherapy elements you mentioned being in "A Christmas on Ice Mountain"!!<br /><br />I love visiting Amish communities and have visited both the ones near Lancaster, Pa. and in the Shipshewana, In. area. I worked in an office near Shipshewana for a year, enjoyed learning more about the Amish and had the opportunity to eat in Amish homes twice. When I traveled to the Lancaster area, I asked the local residents for names of some of the restaurants and stores the Amish frequented, rather than the tourist traps, and was able to taste some wonderful Amish cooking/baking there also. I loved driving up and down the country roads and buying fresh produce/fruit and homemade foods and crafts from the roadside stands the Amish had set up and loved talking to them and learning more about their way of life. I would love to visit the Ohio Amish communities within the near future, I have friends who live near there also. There are also some small Amish communities in Ky. that I haven't visited yet, but would love to. I think at least one of author Mary Ellis' novels is based on Ky. Amish communities.

I entered a contest of Beverly Lewis that would have been a trip to Shipshewana and a chance to meet some Amish with her. But, alas, I wasn't the lucky winner. I did get to meet her this year, and she has an Amish or Mennonite background. And, many, many Amish friends. So, that is the closest I will ever be. I love the cover on this book and all three of the authors. I also got to meet Jennifer Beckstrand. Such a sweet lady. Hello to all of the OWG gals and the friends who visit here. GOD bless all of you.
