The appeal of the Amish community strikes a contrast with our over-booked over-stressed technological society, lending it an air of peaceful unreality. Perhaps they are more real than the rest of us in some ways.

We were headed to Florida and I saw an Amish gentleman in his buggy on the side of the road. When my Dad told me that the Amish didn't use electricity, I was intrigued. My first thought was, NO TV?!? <br /><br />As Susanne mentioned, not all my books are set in Amish country.
