Amanda, about a young Mennonite girl who seeks an education, is hired as a teacher in a local one-room schoolhouse, and eventually marries a childhood friend, contains many delightful appreciations of life along with early 20th century reminiscences, as indicated by such chapters as: The Snitzing Party, Boiling Apple Butter, The Spelling Bee, and One Heart Made o' Two . Patchwork, the story of a young girl growing up within a community of plain people, some of the story in the format of a diary, includes the girl's first romance. ...(wikipedia.org)
