Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home by Rhoda Janzen
4.0
This was a really fun book to read. Janzen delivers her story in a funny and entertaining way. She's pretty much got the bad end of the stick when her abusive husband leaves her for a man, throwing her into financial ruin, and she is seriously injured in a car accident. Talk about a bad week! She returns home to her Mennonite family to heal both her physical and emotional wounds.
Could Janzen have written this story without an ounce of religion? Probably. But it wouldn't have been as much fun. There's enough humor in this book to cushion the sobering details of Janzen's divorce and what she learns about herself. It's not your typical transformation story. There's a lot of heart in here.
