Mennonite on the Edge

A new love story and a woman's search for identity by Mennonite-born author Cynthia Yoder. Wedded bliss gives way to dismay as MaryJo, a country girl, settles into her new life with Adam in the City that Never Sleeps. She begins questioning her future as news from home brings up a past relationship that ended badly. Determined to live life on her own terms, she goes home to Lancaster to find answers. Can she make peace with herself and her past so she can live the life of her dreams with Adam? "Mennonite on the Edge treats readers to a love story set in two worlds: among the delis and blues bars of New York City, and amid the winding roads and idyllic cornfields of Pennsylvania Dutch country. The struggles and triumphs of MaryJo and Adam are sure to resonate with anyone who has ever tried to balance the claims of love and work, self and other - not to mention anyone who's ever tasted a really great shoo-fly pie." -- Deborah Yaffe, author of Among the Janeites: A Journey Through the World of Jane Austen Fandom. Set in both New York City and the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Mennonite on the Edge reveals a young woman in love yet determined to live life on her own terms. Mennonite on the Edge explores love and marriage, belonging and culture and will appeal to readers of contemporary fiction, Chick lit, as well as historical and Christian fiction. Book club questions are included. Not recommended for young readers, due to slight language, substance use and implied physical intimacy.
