KINDRED SPIRITS

Looks like I'm not the only one.

By Amishlaw, book report; "Girls of Riyadh"
I am sure one reason I liked this book is because, like the Amish,
the conservative Arab society is misunderstood by ordinary Americans, judged
mainly by its severe rules and the pronouncements of its most extreme
practioners. It is refreshing to read a book that does not romanticize its subjects, but shows their common humanity.


Preach it brother.

Hello Elam,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my blog. It does look like we're kindred spirits, although you're Amisher than me. I was never baptized as an Amishman. My parents left when I was 10 years old. I like your politics, too. It must be kind of lonely being a Democrat in Lancaster County. I'll put you on my bloglines.
