Amish Fiction

Over the last few years the amount of Amish fiction out there has increased tenfold. I have only found a few authors that I have liked number one being Beverly Lewis who basically started the whole genre. Her most recent series Home to Hickory Hollow harkens back to her first book The Shunning. I have also enjoyed Wanda Brunstetter books including The Half-stitched Amish Quilting Club that I have mentioned previously in my blog. I have also enjoyed Emma Millers Amish series Hannah's Daughters. I find it interesting that so much interest has been generated in the Plain community. What is it about their lifestyle that calls to us? At the same time I do not know of anyone who has actually converted to the Amish faith. What can we learn from them, and how do we live our life in the world that we have chosen?
