Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, By Rhoda Janzen

Loved it!

It's Rhoda's memoir, of sorts. She jumps around A LOT, but mainly it covers a few months to a year after her divorce, when she goes to stay with her Menno parents while she recovers from a nasty car accident. You learn about her family, you learn about her upbringing, and why she has this or that taste in men or friends or whatever. It's great! You learn a tiny bit about Mennonites as well--enough to know that her Mennonites and "my" Mennonites are pretty different.
