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).

The other big chrifi genres are "people in a wholesome small town" (very Hallmark), historical romances with questionable depictions of oppressed groups, and murder mysteries (about half take place in a Hallmark Town and feature cats and/or baked goods).

    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”.

    Yes, if you really want a clean "Christian romance" try A Name Unknown by Roseanna White. 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. It's about this woman who starts dating an Amish guy after meet-cuting him when his little sister is in the hospital?? There's a cancer-cured-by-a-literal-angel plot arc and also it gets really sad??? And from what I remember does not have a happy ending it was wild

    13:18 for traditionalist christian communities it makes lots of sense. I dated a 25 (I was 26) year old guy from a very conservative evangelical family and when it didn’t work out, his parents stated that we are obviously too immature for a romantic relationship still. Worst experience ever.

    I love that the Amish just exist. Not gonna lie I do get why people romanticise it, especially when they dont look any deeper than the general vibe. I too would like to wear old timey clothes and be removed from technology (for a while I could not handle it long term which is probably some brand of sad😂) Im sure there are chill Amish people who are just kinda doing their thing? But while I like the concept of being away from tech and old timey living (bc its both fascinating and just a vibe, which yeah shallow ik) I am very not on board with old timey MINDSETS. Like can we just dress like its ye olde days without being like God fearingTM? Also modern medicine is really cool.

    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.
