Mennonite in a little black dress [a memoir of going home]

Janzen, Rhoda (Author). Huber, Hillary. (Added Author).

Summary: Not long after Rhoda Janzen turned forty, her world turned upside down. Her husband announced that her was leaving her for Bob, a guy he met on Gay.com -- and that same week a car accident left her with serious injuries. Under circumstances like these, what was a gal to do? Naturally, Rhoda returned home to her close-knit Mennonite family. She was now more at ease sipping cocktails with fellow academics than sitting in a conservative church, but the oddball Mennonite community welcomed her broken body and soul with open arms and generous advice. It is in this save place that Rhoda came to terms with her failed marriage; her desire, as a young woman, to leave her sheltered world behind; and the choices that both freed and entrapped her. Written with wry humor and huge personality, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress is an immensely moving memoir of healing, certain to touch anyone who has ever had to look homeward in order to move ahead.
