Plain Wisdom: An Invitation into an
Amish Home and the Hearts of Two Women By Cindy
Woodsmall, and
Miriam Flaud
Two friends from
different worlds—one Old Order Amish, one Englischer—share the truths
that bring them together.
Best-selling novelist Cindy Woodsmall might seem to have little in common with Miriam Flaud, a woman immersed in the culture of Old Order Amish. But with nine children and almost 60 years of marriage between them, Cindy and Miriam both have found the secrets to facing life with strength and grace. Whether enduring financial setbacks, celebrating new babies and times of prosperity, grieving the crushing losses in the deaths of family and friends, or facing disappointments with their respective communities—through it all they find guidance for each day by looking to God.
