@@HelloCompanion That's not exactly true. It may be fore certain sects, but not universally. I know a woman whose family converted and were Amish for many years. I think she had all but the last of her nine children while in an Amish community. She was raised Catholic and her husband was an Atheist, and they decided to become Amish. However, she turned out to be pretty lazy and they kicked their whole family out. They are no longer Amish, but now they identify as Mennonite (which is a whole other ball of wax).
My understanding of the amish romance genre is that it's generally written by christians who want Exotic and Different Romance... but not TOO Exotic and Different.

@@taylorgayhart9497 it honestly depends on the community, religion, parents, etc. if their daughter feels like too much of a financial burden or something like that they’re more likely to marry them off young because then they live elsewhere and are the responsibility of a man who isn’t her father. if they’re very poor with tons of kids it seems to them like the best idea is for all their preteen/teen daughters to get married to a man who lives nearby and can financially take care of her. often impoverished families in these hyper religious communities will just find a man a bit wealthier than they are (which isn’t hard for him if he has a job but no children) who is willing to financially support their daughter. it’s not right i’ve just seen that happen a lot. some simply marry off their teenage daughter cus they believe they’re grown at like 15/16 years old. but some hyper religious parents are particularly overprotective and if financially able to they’ll keep their daughter from being married until her 20s.

I live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania aka I'm surrounded by Amish and my grandparents are very Christian (not Amish) but they used to get me like 2-3 Amish romances every year for my birthday when I was a kid. I felt bad getting rid of them so they lived under my bed for many many years.
My grandma is an extremely avid reader of amish romances and I will say the appeal is really just the prevalence of religion in the romance aspect with nothing happening between the love interests beyond MAYBE a kiss or some hand holding. I still remember when I got in trouble with her cause she read my library book that had the precursor to sex in it with the characters deciding they werent ready yet. I got a lecture for that. I was in 8th grade.
I grew up in a conservative Christian household, I read many an Amish romance in middle school and early high school, some Beverly Lewis even. Thankfully I had other influences to show me the flaws of such a close mined way of thinking and got away from that. In my mid 20s though I was diagnosed with a degenerative muscle condition (Ehlers Danlos Syndrom) as I lost more and more mobility my mental health got worse and worse. I finally found an amazing therapist to help me through where I was. It was quite eye opening to see how the things I was taught the thought patterns and prejudices were actually what was effecting the way I thought about or dealt with this diagnosis even years after I had got away from the religious aspect. I’m in my 40s now and use a wheelchair full time, I still attend therapy to get through the emotional trauma but I’m in a much better place mentally. I feel like alot of those authors thought they could “sugar coat” it but where completely clueless as to how that could actually impact someone’s way of thinking in a harmful way making them feel “less than”.

Other clean/closed door romances that are normal good books are: The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams (clean sports romance) , Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams (closed door bodyguard romance), The Bodyguard by Katherine Center (bodyguard romance). Also The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley is general fiction with a clean and sweet romantic sub plot.
Omg this reminds me of this book series I read as a kid that was in my house, I assume my mom bought at some point, called the Angels trilogy by Lurlene Mcdaniel.

i got really into learning about evangelical christianity from an outside or a deconstructed perspective liek from fundie fridays or jordan and mckay, and something they've noted is that evangelicals kinda have an obsession with the amish and romanticize them a lot? have to wonder if these were written in that vein of thought
I've seen so many of these amish romance books at my local library! 😭 I was wondering why there were so many because as far as I know we don't have any amish communities nearby and I didn't understand who these were supposed to be for lol
Yeah new order and old order Amish are wildly different and both communities vary within themselves too.
Old southern women eat these books up!! They have single handly made Beverly Lewis rich.
I know some stuff about the Amish because there's a pretty big community near me, they run a local farmers market. And I see them at the discount book store. Some Amish communities agree that it's okay to do things with electronics as far as what you need to get by in the outside, usually cash registers to get money, lightbulbs and air conditioning for customers, etc. Those kinds tend to say that you just need to make sure the community itself is godly. But yeah, they vote, they engage in commerce. The big problem is just that if like... If you want to leave, you're excommunicated. So, no talking to your family, no safety net, you're basically orphaned. You need to apply for a social security number, learn to drive, figure out how a phone works, get an email, and that's all Really Hard when it was all forbidden and you have no one to help you. Just like coming out of a cult, being cut off from outside supports is always hard, whether your experience before was good or not. (Of course, usually those that leave didn't have a good time, hence the leaving.) All this to say, the Amish make really great lemon drops and I love eating them.
Also i think sometimes people get Amish and German Baptist confused….bc they also wear bonnets and such but shop in regular stores and even live in cities. Amish are generally much more isolated
That cover on Undercover Amish.....LMAO!
I just got back into reading recently and am now discovering people discussing books online. How novel.
OMG i've read the first one, i think my grandparents got it for me. I had another one (don't remember where i got it) but this Amish family's mom dies so the oldest sister kinda takes over the role and raises her like 6 siblings but her dad is never appreciative of her, flash forward her youngest brother ends up getting kidnapped (i think this guy and his wife can't have kids so he just yoinks the baby), it was wild, it's The Storekeeper's Daughter by Wanda E. Brunstetter
Thank you for subjecting yourself to this torture for our entertainment. You are truly doing god’s work 🤭
hilariously, the only reason i learned a lot of this stuff about amish folks is that i live in/right next to a mennonite community so like... there's a whole lil tourist area where they sell produce, have a restaurant, and so on right next to it tho is regular mennonite stores also! it's like the only area within walking distance from my house too and it's always a lil funny to see them in the bonnets in dollar tree and stuff but then again i think some amounts of tech are allowed if needed?
